HUME CONVERSATIONS                        TERM 4 | WEEK 4

In the last few weeks, Hume Conservatorium was thrilled to work with the Goulburn Indian Community to offer them space for the first annual Diwali Festival. It was amazing to hear beautiful cultural songs and see the colourful dances. 

Our October Concert Series ended with the Luminescence Chamber Singers last Sunday. It was a wonderful concert filling the Old Ceramics Hall with their incredible harmonies. 

We also made some cool steampunk sculptures from some broken instruments at the Victoriana Steampunk Fair. 

Rocky Hill has Continued to rehearse here for their upcoming production of the Addams Family. 🖤🦇✨ The production features Hume Con Staff and students in the orchestra!

We have also hosted several get-togethers for the Goulburn Social Dance Club. And a beautiful photographic exhibition of native orchids for the K2W Glideways program.
