Music Matinee Inc Newsletter September 29th, 2026
Dear Friends of Music Matinee,
The comedy opera was a great success and we’re sure all those present would like to thank Olive Cullen and her wonderful singers who wove so many of your favourite opera pieces into their tale of woe!
However this highlights the underfunding of the arts in general is a serious issue for all trying to make their way in this field . The wellbeing of a community and society in general depends upon its access to the arts and music in particular ,a fact which has been acknowledged for millennia. Music Matinee together with other volunteer organisations plays a vital role in this field but it does not excuse governments from their obligations to make it a priority .
Our next concert will be on Tuesday October 6th at 1.00 and as always we would ask you to be seated by 12.45 if possible.
The concert will be presented by ANAM who as you know are our wonderful post graduate training facility for Australian and New Zealand musicians .
Today we will have a selection showcasing their gifted brass section artists are
Koominka. Trumpet
Lewis Grey Trumpet
David Imlay Trumpet

Toby Soward. Trombone
Robin Hall. Tuba
They will play a variety of brass septets beginning with Schumann; Anton bruckner’s arr. cox Ave Maria and the three trombones and tuba will play Anton Bruckner’s arr. Knight Locus Isle.
This should be a most enjoyable concert by our best young musicians and we thank ANAM and their wonderful staff for the tremendous standard of excellence they maintain in all their performances
