Berrima Hall

Vivace Berrima!

Conceived in the aftermath of the COVID Pandemic, the Vivace Berrima! Concert Series at Berrima Village Hall aims to place as much money into the pocket of performing artists as possible, given many were out of work for two years. The Series presents about eight concerts per year. Programming is eclectic with a focus on great music of the last 400 plus years, 20^th century contemporary music, recently composed music, French popular music as well as good jazz.

Performers are all high-calibre artists, drawn from Sydney, regional NSW & ACT as well as locally in the Southern Highlands including young, emerging artists. All are passionate about promoting fine arts in areas such as the Southern Highlands and credit concert series such as Vivace Berrima! and the Bowral Autumn Music Festival for maintaining a rich arts scene. As one performer says, ‘Vivace Berrima! is a vital concert series wherein Lyndall provides good performers and great music, thus making a major contribution to the continuance of the fine arts in our region. We have a reputation for being a highly artistic place and such a series as this helps preserve such a profile.’ 

Lyndall’s enthusiastic audience enjoys a glass of wine and canapes post-performance, thereby allowing the opportunity to speak to performers and create musical connections that she firmly believes enhances social well-being in a turbulent world. As the orchestral conductor for the Paris Olympics 2024 recently expressed: ‘The truly great are those who bring humanity into everything they do’. Beyond that, Lyndall regards regional music-making to be vitally important in maintaining Australia’s artistic heritage and in forging new paths.

The intimate performance space offered by Berrima Village Hall has proven to be a real hit for the Vivace Berrima! Concert Series.
