Music is alive in Barwon Heads
Music has taken a wonderful new turn in the Barwon Heads community and we are seeing the start of some different groups focusing on bringing the enjoyment of music to the village. Along with another 2 choirs, Morning Melodies and Bellarine Classics the music is certainly alive in Barwon Heads
As we know from research – listening and singing to music is not only good for our health and well-being but contributes to social connection and building community
One such group is the Barwon Heads Bar Choir started by a group of locals who had the idea for such a group from humble beginnings at the Cricket Club in 2023 to 4 singing events in 2024/25 at the Barwon Heads Hotel.
This was really topped off in early December 2025 with an amazing the Christmas Spectacular in the large room at the Hotel packed with a full Band, singers and a very enthusiastic audience ! Their next GIG was held on Thursday 19th March at the Barwon Heads Hotel with over 200 people singing one tune
The Barwon Heads Fine Music concerts are continuing this year , the Autumn program is detailed in future events – however with all these other musical events happening and many locals away in the Winter months , the Committee have decided on alternate months later in the year – check the website for details https://barwonheadsfinemusic.org.au/
The Barwon Heads Chorale is still singing strongly with rehearsals held on Tuesday evenings from 7pm – 830 in All Saints Anglican Church Barwon Heads. Musical Director Terry Norman has resigned from the group and we thank him for his excellent direction of the Chorale over the last 3 years. The BHFMS Committee are currently seeking a new Musical Director and there has been considerable interest shown for this position.

ABOUT THE BARWON HEADS FINE MUSIC SOCIETY
Music in itself provides a wonderful opportunity to meet with others and appreciate the beauty and variety of the presentation, whilst contributing positive health benefits. These include developing new friendships, addressing health issues, building communities, encouraging inclusivity and addressing the issue of social isolation.
OUR SPONSORS
The Barwon Heads Fine Music Society respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we conduct our musical events – the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation.
We pay our respects to their Elders past, to Elders present and to emerging leaders, recognising their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community and especially to the voices of music.
