The highly anticipated Live at The Village Music Festival is emerging from a pandemic haze to present a one-day music festival on Saturday August 27, 2022.
Featuring some of Australia’s most evocative contemporary artists, Live at the Village Music Festival presents an updated program with a renewed passion for presenting high-level live music.
A day of performances straddling the genres of acclaimed and world-class Australian artists, with headliners such as jazz icon Sandy Evans, the ARIA-nominated Zela Margossian Quintet, two music fusionists from world rewarded by the ARIA, the Mara! Big Band and Bluegrass cherished by the Morrisons.
The festival program includes jazz, folk, world music and bluegrass and dance performances presented in partnership with the Blue Mountains’ premier destination for the performing arts, the Blue Mountains Theatre.
Festival Artistic Director Gary Daley said, “This event is the fulfillment of a long-standing ambition: to bring together a compelling cast of master musicians, of diverse and influential influences, in our very own Blue Mountains Theater and Cultural Hub in Springwood.
“For many years local music lovers have attended the Live at the Village concert series, held initially in the Presbyterian Church Hall here in Springwood, and more recently at the Blue Mountains Theatre. We now have this world-class, fit-for-purpose venue right in our backyard and we are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity, to bring so many artists of exceptional caliber to our local community,” said Mr. Daley.
“I think there is also a real curiosity and a real thirst in the community, to experience something that people might not have encountered before. is a way of engaging with cultures and visiting new places, with our hearts and souls.”
“This festival program is an opportunity to be part of some truly exceptional musical moments, right here in Springwood,” he said.
