Well that's a wrap on our 2025 tour of France and Italy. What a fantastic celebration of music and friendship. We performed 5 concerts and had the best of times as we toured by bus, train and plane. With almost all of our touring group back in Australia, it's time to say thank you. Thank you to our amazing MD and tour guide Mario Dobernig, our special guest artist, the fabulous Sally-Anne Russell, our soloists and guest conductors, all those who helped organise, arrange, pack, unpack, and all the other myriads of jobs that are required to ensure a smooth-running tour.
We would also like to thank our hosts Vanessa McKeand at La Coulee Verte 49190 in the Loire Valley, La Croix Valmer Tourisme in the Cote d'Azure, Banda Leone XIII in Turin and the Riverboys at Riva del Garda, in Trento, Italy.
Finally thank you to our generous supporters and sponsors Michael Unwin Wines, BLOC Music Theatre Company, Ballarat Grammar, Ballarat High, Reus Flower Co., Little Cup Cake Shop, and Roar Photography.
