I am sorry there is no Sacred Stage Charity Concert this year primarily due to economic and political factors, a fallow year.
However, I am composing new works, completed volume 11, and have a book with chapters which could be published. Hoping there is paid opportunity to share, and available for composing, conducting, musically directing, arranging, orchestrating, and writing about music.
Our 2025 Sacred Stage Charity Concert was a success, thanks to the artists, the church, a Safeway gift voucher for afternoon-tea and a young award winning student Jasmine Lai stepped in to perform along with the other talented guests mentioned below, to quite a full church, with some money to cover artist costs and some to Anglicare.

I have been composing many new works – songs, string quartets, orchestra works, all hand-written with calligraphy and drawings, in volumes, and have made a decision not perform as a singer at present.
The fruits of a journey to the West of Ireland for an artistic composing retreat in March 2023, included a short orchestral work called For Peace performed at this concert in 2024. https://sacredstage.com.au/audio/ for audio excerpt and musical notation excerpt.
CHARITY CONCERT 2024 I am pleased to tell you Sacred Stage gave over $500 to Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service from our last charity concert ” Nature and the Sacred” in April 2024. We received a Shire of Yarra Ranges Small Grant of $1000 which covered costs of hall, fliers, and something for musicians. About 20 people performed.
Also, we won an Annual Australian Enterprise Awards for Most Dedicated Music Initiative 2024, not a monetary prize.
