Balmain Sinfonia | Sea Pictures March 23, 2024 , Ashfield Town Hall, NSW Sometimes you see a concert that you really must write about, so let me start with full disclosure – I attended this concert with no intention of writing a review.

Bel a cappella | Of a Rose Sing We Dec 10, 2023, St Augustine’s Balmain As usual, Bel a cappella did something unusual and very special when they began their Sunday afternoon concert, Of a Rose Sing We.
