Come and immerse yourself in A beautiful musical landscape

4 DAYS - 2 TOWNS - INTIMATE VENUES
Bellingen Muse, a festival of fine music in Bellingen and Coffs Harbour goes live between 22-25 September 2022.

It is a festival which promises to offer diverse virtuosic performances in intimate venues and aspires to inspire audiences, both young and old, communities, and musicians through music and how the music is presented. 

Bellingen Muse, formerly known as the Bellingen Fine Music Festival, takes a broader view of the term ‘Fine Music’ to go beyond classical to ‘Fine Music’ from other cultures such as Jazz, World and Gaming music.  

Headlining Bellingen Muse for 2022 are Ensemble Q and Ensemble Offspring. They are joined by a selection of other virtuosic performers such as the five voice Vocal Detour, Meena Shamalay from ABC Classic FM’s The Game Show, harp and guitar duo Emily Granger and Andrew Blanch and the full orchestral sounds of the Bellingen Youth Orchestra. The World Music slot features a performance of Caribbean music, story and dance with Caribé and our jazz offering comes to us all the way from Brazil.  Many of the musicians will also perform solo or in small ensembles at intimate venues in Bellingen.  

All of our performances are being held at beautiful venues, such as the Coffs Conservatorium and the Jetty Theatre in Coffs Harbour.  While in Bellingen the Cedar Bar and other small venues will host all the key performers – ensuring intimate and virtuosic musical experiences.  

The ‘Muse 3 Pack’ and the ‘Muse 5 Pack’ ticket packages are on sale now with the full program to be released on 22nd August. 

Come and immerse yourself in a beautiful musical landscape between 22 and 25 September 2022, when Bellingen Muse presents for the first time to both Bellingen and Coffs Harbour.
