The popular Castlemaine Double concert returns with the Bendigo Chamber Choir and a line-up of soloists!
Two concerts, with two very different themes, in two very different – but equally exquisite – venues.
“In Paradise” features sublime music from Mozart’s, Brahms’ and Faure’s Requiems together with a rare performance of a piece composed by Saint-Saens and performed at Nellie Melba’s funeral in 1931!
And then it’s a short walk to “Coronation Classics” – with I was glad, Zadok the Priest, Orb and Sceptre, Crown Imperial and more. You’ll have the Crown Jewels in Castlemaine!
Keys of Gold is back in 2026!
Following a spectacular debut in 2025, Keys of Gold returns for its second year, once again celebrating Bendigo’s remarkable collection of instruments and venues. Presented by Bendigo Fine Music, the festival will unfold across twelve stunning spaces, featuring thirty-two incredible instruments and one hundred and seventy-five world-class performers.
Across four weekends in July, audiences will be treated to sixteen unforgettable concerts that bring to life the beauty, history and artistry of Bendigo’s musical heritage. From historic churches to intimate settings, every performance promises a rich and immersive experience.
