In recommending the council contribute the funds towards the 2017 event, Cabonne Shire general manager Stephen Harding said this year’s festival would offer a blend of day and night performances that will stimulate interest.
“It is a celebration of fine music that presents four concerts, busking, art, dinners, wine and VIP events utilising a variety of Canowindra venues,” Mr Harding said.
Baroquefest has been successful in attracting musicians from around the region, state and internationally who have contributed in a positive way to the fine music education of school students.
Cabonne Council also provided $5000 in funding for last year’s Baroquefest.
This year's festival will open at the former Walkers store on Friday, October 13 and feature artists such as The Song Company, Rachael Beesley (Baroque violinist), the Limestone Consort and The Academy Singers.
