I Imagine
Edward Cowie, renowned composer and artist will not only share the intimate and often astounding passage of his life and imagination, but also a time journey of creation stretching back 2 billion years from the moment life on earth began to ‘sing’ and sound.
Edward believes that all artistic creation is born from Nature itself and feels that the evolution of his Art (and most of you out there too), is a natural phenomenon. The evening will resound with the songs of birds; the movement of water; the singing of winds and volcanos; the choruses of frogs and insects and the fabulous wonder of the human singing voice...
If you are curious about how the imagination works (yours especially) this is a must for you.
Elias Bartholemeo
Elias Bartholomeo is an award-winning international touring Fingerstyle Guitar Player hailing from Sydney, Australia. On many occasions, Elias has been named the Best Guitarist residing in Australia, and his playing has been described as "Walking a tightrope between many genres all at once!" with a fearless and energetic approach to his live performances.
Elias embarked on his musical journey at the tender age of 4 under the guidance of his grandfather. Immersed in the sounds of The Beach Boys, Jerry Reed, The Shadows, Chet Atkins & Tommy Emmanuel, Elias was inspired to emulate their mastery. Despite being self-taught and unable to read music, he honed his craft through ear training and collaboration with fellow musicians.
At 16 years old, Elias had the opportunity to live out his dream and perform alongside Tommy Emmanuel in the Maui Cultural Arts Centre, Hawaii - an experience that further fueled his passion for music.

Nosferatu
Composer and multi-instrumentalist musician, Edwin Montgomery, has written a haunting original score to the first vampire movie ever made: Murnau's timeless 1922 silent horror masterpiece, 'Nosferatu'.
Would love to see you at The Armidale Playhouse to catch this 102-year-old cult classic.
Edwin will perform their original music to this silent film live, using a combination of loop pedals and ghostly distortions that weave synths, violin, guitar, theremin, mandolin, voice and percussion into an eerie and provocative soundscape.
This is the way this film should be experienced. Dress for Halloween and bring someone to hold onto.
