SUMMARY:Godspell
DESCRIPTION:Before Wicked\, Stephen Schwartz burst onto the music theatre scene with Godspell\, introducing his ability to discover new meaning in established narratives. Equal parts playful and profound\, Godspell is a theatrical celebration that reminds us what truly matters\, and in 2026 BMMS is staging a special charity production of the timeless hit. \nOnly one performance at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre\, with all profits going towards the Central Tablelands and Blue Mountains Community Legal Centre. \nIn a world of increasing polarisation\, social inequality and uncertainty\, Godspell\, with its themes of compassion and generosity\, is a humorous and lively exploration of the value of community and connection. With rich harmonies\, a live 6-piece band\, and hits like Day by Day & Turn Back\, O Man\, the show’s eclectic mix of pop\, rock\, gospel\, and vaudeville makes for an infectious soundtrack.

SUMMARY:History Talk: Machattie Park
DESCRIPTION:How does a gaol in the centre of town become the ‘beauty spot of the West?’ Join Bathurst local Jan Page to find out in this history talk about Machattie Park.\nBookings essential: Call 6333 6281.\nMachattie Park in the heart of Bathurst is much-loved by locals and visitors alike who are drawn to its peaceful shade\, beautiful features and gardens\, and the spectacular annual begonia display.  It is a place for gatherings and celebrations and a place of memories both personal and of prominent Bathurstians.  The beautiful park stands on the site of Bathurst’s second gaol\, and its story is a fascinating one of transformation.  \nDescribed as “the beauty spot of the West”\, Machattie Park was at the heart of civic events and public entertainment with grand occasions\, regular band concerts and fund-raising activities.  Although there have been changes over the years as the plantings matured and successive gardeners adapted to the evolving garden and changing times\, the Victorian design of the original vision remains.\nJan Page OAM is the author of Machattie Park Bathurst. A well-known local\, Jan is also President of the Friends of Bathurst War Memorial Carillon and President of the Bathurst Family History Group. \nThis talk is part of the Australian Heritage Festival 2026 celebrating the theme ‘Change’.\nImage: Courtesy Bathurst District Historical Society

SUMMARY:Australian Haydn Ensemble – Beethoven's Fourth
DESCRIPTION:How does that one go again? Neglected even amongst Beethoven’s even-numbered “B-side” symphonies\, No. 4 in B flat can be slow to spring to mind\, but once that effervescent first subject banishes the mock-gloomy introduction\, the delights of this work come flooding back. “Masterclass” is applicable\, but it’s far too much fun for that. The Watts arrangement for flute and string sextet lends a filigree of clarity to a warm and witty work that will leave audiences beaming. \nPre-interval also sees the AHE in miniature symphonic mode. In 2025\, listeners loved the Linz\, so roll on Mozart’s prequel\, The Haffner Symphony\, K. 385\, also presented in Cimador’s bite-sized arrangement. Written in a whirlwind of deadlines\, weddings and house-moving\, Mozart famously forgot he’d composed it at all – only to discover it was rather good. Generations of listeners agree: it brims over with opera buffa bravura and rollicking rhythm. \nBoccherini may be short on symphonies to pare down\, but his predilection for extra bottom end with his string quintets always gives them an ambition beyond the chamber. The one in A minor from 1778’s Op. 25 has the deep lustre and nobility of a substantial work. As you’ll discover\, there’s no shortage of his unmistakable character: from galloping caballos to a closing rondo in Turkish style. \nLean and lovely fare and a fourth to be reckoned with. \nBMEC’s presentation of The Australian Haydn Ensemble is proudly sponsored by Ben Gelin OAM Solicitor and Notary Public. \nEvent Notes: Genre Classical Music\nAge: All ages

SUMMARY:Lose To Win
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary journey from South Sudan to the stage. \n“In this country\, you think it’s your right to have three meals a day. Me\, where I came from? I think it’s a miracle.” \nFrom South Sudan to Egypt to Australia\, this is the extraordinary journey of Mandela Mathia. Fleeing his war-torn home as a child\, Mandela spent many years journeying\, searching\, and eventually finding his way to our stage. This is a joyful\, poignant solo show\, straight from the man who lived it. \nA celebration of the South Sudanese community\, of resilience\, and the power of imagination\, Lose To Win is an astonishing modern Australian story.” \n★★★★ Sydney Arts Guide – “It’s that big smile again. He can say something difficult with a grin and we smile back.” \nSydney Morning Herald – “Not a soul is born without a backstory\, but few are as gripping as Mandela Mathia’s.” \nTheatre Reds – “Mandela Mathia has an extraordinary stage presence – warm and generous spirited.”

SUMMARY:Morning Ragas at The Keystone
DESCRIPTION:This is the second instalment of Evening Ragas at the Keystone. Morning ragas. As this system of Indian classical music is not only set to seasons\, it is also set to times of day\, so certain melody forms or Ragas can only be performed at the prescribed time. As the musicians tour the world playing this music it is common that the audiences are mostly exposed to evening ragas. So this is a rare opportunity to experience the morning music. \nThis concert will be very relaxed\, the audience is encouraged to dress in comfortable clothes and bring a cushion\, or use the seating provided of course. There will bear sick packs and chai available as an add on to the ticket price\n ( check link ). So come and enjoy some Sunday Morning Music and take a break from the hectic world. Once again there will be projections\, this time Sunrise of the Ganges\, that has been specifically designed by Sarangi student and artist Annabel McLure.
