After watching the incredible talent on display at today's Grass Roots Open Mic competition, one thing is clear – our region is bursting with talented musicians, especially young performers.

If you took to the stage today, or wished you had, why not give it another go at the Nancy Blumer OS Butler Memorial Quest this September?

It's another fantastic opportunity to perform, challenge yourself and gain valuable experience in front of an audience and adjudicator.

Saturday 17th January 6pm
Piccolo Family Farm, Mallinson Road Lake Wyangan

Join us at Piccolo Family Farm for an intimate, easy-going evening of live piano, good food, and time well spent, performed by accomplished Central Coast pianist Mary-Ellen Wallace.
The Piccolo Family Farm chapel space transforms into a relaxed pop-up piano bar, anchored by the beautiful grand piano and filled with some of the most beautiful music ever written. Expect a thoughtfully curated journey through classical and romantic piano masterpieces, impressionist works, and modern classical favourites — from composers such as Sibelius, Liszt, Kats-Chernin, Chopin, Rakmaninoff, Debussy and Satie.
This isn’t a stiff recital or hushed concert hall — it’s classical music in a warm, welcoming room where friends connect and the afternoon unfolds at its own pace.
Come with friends.
Stay for a relaxing evening.
Let the piano do the heavy lifting.

$20 per person
Piccolo Family Farm bar will be open, and woodfired pizzas by Limone will be available for purchase on arrival.

Proceeds go toward ArtFarm and supporting local and traveling artists.
