The three-day festival, now in it's 13th year, is set to feature nine concerts which will showcase a diverse collection of instruments and music from the Renaissance and Baroque, the Classical and Romantic to a selection of new Australian compositions.
The Bowral Autumn Music Festival has commissioned a new work by Australian composer, Alice Chance, to be debuted opening night.
The Acacia Quartet will return as ensemble in residence and will present three concerts over the weekend.
Other highlights will include soloists from Richard Gill’s Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra, organist David Drury with Australian Baroque Brass, The Geist String Quartet, and young recitalists – violinist Marcus Michelsen and organist Titus Grenyer.
There will also be a special concert for young families called Da Vinci’s Apprentice which will explore the weird and wonderful musical world of the 16th century.
Artistic director, Myee Clohessy, has been hard at work organising the festival.
“My choice of programming reflects the diverse nature we have here in the Southern Highlands," Clohessy said.
"I try to program music that will entice children as well as seasoned music lovers and present for all musical tastes."
A special festival service will be held 10am March 31. The service will involve St Jude’s singers and feature liturgical works by Benjamin Britten with organ preludes performed by Dr Allan Beavis OAM.
BAMF members are invited to attend the society members’ reception on March 30.
