Dear Music Lovers
Welcome to our first newsletter with information about the 14th Camden Haven Music Festival.
Notwithstanding the retirement of Artistic Director Trish O’Brien one year earlier than planned, the CHMF Management Committee has been busy putting together an exciting program for next year, and we expect you will find some delicious music to tempt you. This newsletter is to give you notice of Festival dates, and information about the program that is already in place.
We are very mindful of the current difficult economic conditions, which by all accounts may be more difficult by the time the Festival comes around again. With this in mind, we have contracted the 2009 program a little, and have been very careful to book artists who will provide the high quality you have come to expect, but at costs that we hope will enable us to keep ticket prices affordable for you.
CHMF Dates for 2009 - Friday 24 April to Sunday 3 May inclusive.
Friday 24 to Sunday 26 April – Weekend One
The Festival will open with a romantic flute and harp concert, followed by canapé and wines, and time to meet the performers and chat with friends.
There will be a total of 5 concerts this weekend, including The Power of Three (flute, clarinet and piano); TinAlley String Quartet (young, fresh and very much on the rise); and Chinese Harpist JingJing Lu from Brisbane.
A special finale to this weekend will be a concert by the Sydney Chamber Choir on Sunday afternoon.
Monday 27 to Thursday 30 April – Mid Week
There will be plenty of free and ticketed activities during this mid week period, including the official opening of an art exhibition and sale by Hastings Valley Fine Art Association in conjunction with the Music Festival. This was a great success this year, and will again run for the full second weekend of the Festival.
Friday 1 to Sunday 3 May – Weekend Two
We will be welcoming the Heavenly Lights Trio, a favourite gospel group who performed to a full house at Kendall a few festivals back.
As we have lots of vocal and choral devotees, we are planning to include a barbershop quartet or chorus, a cappella ensemble Blues Point with George Washingmachine, as well as some exciting jazz by the Todd Hardy Quintet, in a return to one of the Festival’s most successful components, a jazz night at North Haven.
“A Slice of Haven” – an expose of local food and beverages run by the Camden Haven Chamber of Commerce this year will be on again as an Associated Event of the Music Festival. A free concert for the community is planned as a conclusion to the day and the Festival on Sunday 3 May.
So, plenty to look forward to, and the Festival Committee looks forward to seeing you all again in 2009. There will be more news as we firm up the program.
