Christmas in July…
…brings together over 120 performers from over 20 choirs for a mega-celebration of all your Christmas favourites in Australia’s third-largest cathedral – the extraordinary Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo.
Directed by Douglas Heywood OAM – known to millions each year as “Uncle Doug from Carols by Candlelight” – this program speaks for itself with choirs, soprano solos, brass and grand organ! And, of course, the concert concludes with the Hallelujah Chorus!
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.
