Melburnians can attend an enchanting evening of music at Government House on Tuesday 10 December with the Governor of Victoria, Professor Margaret Gardner, hosting a special performance by three remarkable choirs.
The free performance will feature Dhungala Children’s Choir, Coco’s Lunch, and the Australian Girls Choir, offering a diverse repertoire of songs to captivate audiences of all ages.
Held in the stunning 42-meter-long allroom, a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture and craftsmanship, the event promises not only an auditory treat but also a rare opportunity to explore one of Victoria’s most iconic heritage buildings.
Government House, completed in 1876, is an iconic example of 19th-century grandeur and architectural excellence. Built during Melbourne’s gold rush era, it was designed by architect William Wardell to serve as the residence of the Governor of Victoria. The Italianate-style mansion features opulent interiors, including the magnificent ballroom, a sweeping staircase, and meticulously crafted detailing throughout.
Gates open at 5:00 pm, with official proceedings starting at 6:00 pm. Light refreshments will follow the performance, and the event concludes at 8:00 pm.
While the performance is free, registration is essential.
