7th Loch Village Garden Festival is on Sunday 2nd November 2014 from 10am to 4pm. This year’s Festival features a wide range of gardens open for inspection from Nyora to Glen Alvie with most in Loch Village. Admission is $5 per adult with maps and garden listings available at Carringtons of Loch Village. Previous festivals recently held have attracted many visitors and we hope to see more of the same exploring our beautiful garden village. We like to bring folks together for a relaxing and informative outing leading up to the festive season.
People are invited to take a walk through Historic Loch Village to discover open gardens, view garden art and sculpture, plus buy plants and fresh local produce. Eateries will provide visitors with food and wine from the Southern Gippsland region.
An easy drive just one hour from Melbourne, this small community is adamant to make Historic Loch Village a destination. With special events and places to explore, antiques to buy, wine and dine, there are many reasons to make a weekend or day trip to Loch Village. Come and find out for yourself.
From New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, from Womadelaide to Woodford Folk Festival, and many places in between Tibetan singer-songwriter Tenzin Choegyal has thrilled audiences around the world with his soaring vocals and mastery of traditional instruments. He has performed before the Dalai Lama and shared the stage with many well-known artists and composers. But he especially enjoys the chance to perform at more intimate concerts where he can share playful stories and well-loved traditional tunes with his audiences. Tenzin was born in Tibet, a child of Tibetan nomads who followed their herds and traded salt, spending summers in the mountains and wintering on the plains. However, as featured on a recent episode of the ABC’s Foreign Correspondent, he spent his early years in Mustang, in the north-east of Nepal, after his family fled the Chinese occupation in the early 1970’s. But memories of the music of his homeland have stayed with him.
An outstanding vocalist, Tenzin is a master of traditional Tibetan instruments such as the dranyen (long-necked lute) and lingbu (transverse bamboo flute). He recalls, when growing up, hearing his father playing the flute and his mother singing the nomadic songs of Tibet. Alongside traditional Tibetan Buddhist devotional chants, these songs still play a central part in his musical repertoire today.
Tenzin sets aside several weeks each year for his very special “For Tibet with Love Home Concert Tour”, performing concerts in people’s homes or other intimate venues to raise money for the Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV) school in Dharamsala, India. TCV was established in the early 1960’s and to this day continues to support the orphaned and destitute children of Tibetan refugees.
We are delighted to be hosting one of Tenzin’s “home” concerts in Newborough on November 22nd. This promises to be a joyful evening of music and sharing as well as a unique opportunity to support Tenzin in his cause.
