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
