Christmas Music - Rejoice - Hunter Baillie

Christmas Music"Joubert Singers is a community choir which was formed in 1994 comprising of 30 - 40 singers. Our choir is non-auditioned, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for experienced singers and musicians.
We generally present three concerts each year, held in venues within Sydney.
Additionally, we offer engaging workshops, community concerts and collaborate with other choirs, to further enrich the musical experience for our members and the community.
Our repertoire spans from classical masterpieces to stirring spirituals and innovative new Australian compositions, reflecting our commitment to artistic excellence and exploration.
THE JOUBERT BROTHERS STORY
Didier Joubert:The creation of the suburb of Hunters Hill in the 19th century was influenced by an unusual number of colonists from continental Europe. Most eminent were the Frenchmen – Didier Joubert (1816-81) and his brother Jules (1824 - 1907), who migrated to Australia from the Bordeaux area of France in the 1830s. Didier Joubert, a wine and spirit merchant who ran a business in Sydney town, settled in Hunters Hill in 1847. He purchased Mary Reibey’s Figtree Farm, and, once his brother Jules joined him in 1854, they began building sandstone villas and laying out subdivisions.
Both brothers were active protagonists for the development of local amenities. Didier became the first mayor of Hunter’s Hill in 1867-69 while Jules was the first chairman of the local council.
Didier Joubert was a colonial-era amateur photographer, who reportedly produced the first recorded photograph taken on Australian soil. Rejoice!

CHARLES COOPER & JULIE HARRIS at ANNANDALE GALLERIES

110 Trafalgar Street. Gallery Hours Wed-Sat 11am–4pm

"Since the late eighties he has painted roundabouts, intersections, pedestrian crossings and street markings - each time managing to unearth something remarkable about the humble road. In Geographics, his attention has turned almost exclusively to the meandering tar lines which fill the cracked bitumen of Sydney streets, where the artist lives and works. He focuses on the continual cycle of fracture and repair experienced quite literally by the urban landscape. These remedial tar lines indicate a tension between our efforts to impose order and nature’s responsive resistance."..
JULIE HARRIS Sigur Series .."With a longstanding love of Korean art practices and philosophies, her work has always had the hallmarks of meditative repetition but increasingly punctuated by explosive gestures that suggest a newfound restless curiosity."..

"FLOW STATES -Barks, Larrakitj & Sculpture: SHOWING 31 JULY - 30 AUGUST 2025 Join us for an opening reception, 9 August 1-3pm

Flow States brings together a selection of recent and private-collection works from leading Yolŋu artists of north-east Arnhem Land, having passed through the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre (Yirrkala, NT) with whom Annandale has collaborated for three decades. While the works on display represent only a fraction shown at Annandale Galleries over the years, they nonetheless point to pivotal moments where Yolŋu art was shaped by community members, and shared in innovative ways.

It has been a privilege to witness such work enthusiastically embraced, revered and collected, both locally and internationally. More than aesthetical and formal revelations, Yolŋu people have proven that the rhythm of art is one of deep, passionate commitment to our homes and the ones with which we share it.

Exhibited artists: Gunybi Ganambarr • Ŋoŋu Ganambarr • Malauba Gumana • Waturr Gumana • Gawirrin Gumana • Djambawa Marawili • Galuma Maymuru • Buwathay Munyarryun • Yanggariny Wunuŋgmurra • Nawurapu Wunuŋgmurra • W. Wanambi • Deturru Yunupiŋu"..www.annandalegalleries.com.au

MATISSE / MOTHERWELL

Etchings, linocuts, aquatints, lithographs and collage on show 7 May – 28 June 2025
Opening 7th May 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Preview from 26 April

Annandale Galleries is excited to announce that two of the most influential names in modern art will return to the gallery for the first time in over a decade. Featuring etchings, linocuts, aquatints, lithographs and collage, the exhibition traces their stylistic experimentations as well as innovations within printmaking and colour theory.

We see the lasting relevance of Henri Matisse and Robert Motherwell in the way they confronted the unknown and ephemeral qualities that defined their own times. This is evident through their shared love for the poet Mallarmé and his dictum "describe not the object itself but the effect it produces". Not only would they become key figures of their own movements, they created seismic shifts which reverberate to this day.

Saskia Vander, The Condemned, 2025, oil and acrylic on board, 80 x 122 cmMarking the second annual Newcomers series, recent art-school graduates have been invited to usher in the new year of exciting exhibitions and events.

Each artist embraces a sense of fragmentation, where the act of repairing broken matter, reshaping images and reframing personal narratives translates to an act of resilience and regeneration. Whether through painting, bronze, glass or recycled plastic, each carries the memory of lived experience and produces something stronger and more adaptable than before.
