This year’s Baroquefest will be held on October 19, 20 and 21.
In 2017 Cabonne Shire Council provided $1500 in funding for the event.
Following on the success from the last three years the organisers plan for the festival to continue as an annual music and cultural festival in the Canowindra calendar.
The festival is successful in attracting musicians from the region, state and international standard who have contributed in a positive way to the fine music education of school students.
The 2018 organisers have formed a partnership with the Corridor Project – to offer ‘Big Little Histories’, which will expand and increase the learning and educational exposure by developing local stories.
The festival program will offer a blend of day and night performances that stimulate cultural interest.
It is a celebration of fine music that presents four concerts, busking, art, dinners, wine and VIP events that utilises a variety of Canowindra venues.
The festival has expanded this year to include concerts at All Saints Church, Canowindra Services Club, Noojee Lea homestead, Wallington Winery and Rosnay Winery as well as meet the artist events.
Organisers hope Canowindra Baroquefest, coupled with the Corridor project titled ‘Big Little Histories’, will increase the cultural experiences and maximize the entertainment variety for the Canowindra community.
