Paintings - Installation - Works on Paper

Pictorially, the resulting paintings seemed to occupy a space between the visceral intensity of Willem de Kooning’s gestural painting and the cooler sensibility of Brice Marden’s looping layered lines.- Sebastian Smee, Pulitzer Prize-winning arts critic for the Boston Globe, Distillation catalogue 2015

Three Piece Suite: Magic Mozart Concert

At last the wait is nearly over! We will soon be returning to a venue near you to present our second series for 2017 - Magic Mozart

Of course, the Divertimento K. 563 for string trio, the first really important work for our combination, will be on the program and we are pleased that our friend and colleague James Fortune will be joining us for another one of Mozart's flute quartets. This time he has chosen the Quartet in A major K. 298, an appropriately sunny and light-hearted piece for the season. As well we have found an arrangement of nearly all of the Magic Flute, for flute and strings, made by Mozart's contemporary Franz Heinrich Ehrenfried. Unfortunately time will limit how much of that we can play, but we are in negotiations for all of our favourites!

The Village Church, cnr. Booth/Johnston Sts
Sunday 22nd October at 3pm
Online bookings will be open approximately 2-3 weeks before each concert, More information here

The Westconnex M4-M5 EIS and put in a submission before October 16.

The EIS is for the proposed linking tunnel from the M4 to the M5. The impacts on Annandale include

• a Tunnel exit onto the Crescent, which will destroy Buruwan Park at the Rozelle Bay Light Rail Stop.
• associated pedestrian and cyclist detours.
• impact on the 433 Bus along the Crescent.
• Tunnel exit will mean more traffic through Annandale.
• There is also an exhaust stack proposed for the Rozelle Rail Yards.
• There are mid-tunnel construction sites at Darley Road Leichhardt and Pyrmont Bridge Road Annandale.
• While the tunnel is being excavated trucks with trailers will remove the mined material and need to travel along Pyrmont Bridge Road, Parramatta Road and City West Link. This may occur at night to avoid impacting day time traffic - which has been the case in Haberfield.
• The latest price tag for the project is $17billion dollars.

For more information and to make a submission go to www.westconnex.com.au/M4-M5LinkEIS

Parramatta Road Urban Renewal

Parramatta Road has been divided into Precincts: Granville, Auburn, Homebush, Burwood-Concord, Kings Bay, Taverners Hill, Leichhardt, Camperdown connected by Frame Areas.

"The Frame Areas are important connections between Precincts and will contribute towards the transformation of the Corridor. While not the focus of growth in the Strategy, land use change and development may still occur over the longer term through 'spot rezonings' or changes to development controls...." - Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy fact sheet
