 |
Australian Chamber Orchestra & The Hilliard Ensemble
|
 The
Australian Chamber Orchestra (Helena Rathbone Lead Violin) with The Hilliard
Ensemble. White Hat refards The Hilliard Ensemble to be one of the finest male
vocal ensembles in the world. Their attention to tuning and chording in Medieval
and Renaissance music gives it a 'ring' not heard in ensembles who stick to
compromise of the equal temperament of the keyboard. This attention to ensemble
tuning also pays dividends in contemporary music. This promises to be a special
concert.
- Elgar
Serenade for strings
- Sheryngham Ah, gentle Jesu

Sustainable Water Use
|
 As well as a spectacular collection of salvias, perennials and natives in
their substantial garden, Pat and John Anderson also have a large and very
productive vegetable patch. They have devised a sustainable water supply of
collected rainwater, linked tanks and a gravity-fed system of drippers. While
most of the plants in the flower garden are drought-tolerant, this excellent and
achievable watering system ensures the garden's all-round success. See further
information at The White Hat
Guide to Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)
John is a scientist and he will give talks and demonstrations on how he and
Pat collect, measure, store and use their water. Notes outlining their water
practices will also be available.
This event is part of the wonderful
Australian
Open Gardens Scheme. |

The gallery is divided up into glass cubicles, shelves, racks and partitions which artists can lease for a small weekly cost over a three month period. There is no commission on items sold. When Whitehat visited in June2008 we discovered a treasure trove of new upcoming artisans as well as designers like Julie Ughetti, with an international reputation. The work ranges from the quirky to sophisticated and given the diversity of art work on display you appear to be guaranteed to find eclectic original pieces. |

Max Dupain on Assignment
|
|
Max Dupain (1911–92) is
widely considered to be one of Australia’s greatest photographers. The
National
Archives of Australia and the Noel Butlin Archives Centre at the Australian
National University are fortunate to hold in their collections some of the best
examples of his commercial work, a selection of which is presented in this
exhibition.
Reflecting the documentary style for which he was famous, Dupain’s
photographs of Australia after World War II are important records of a changing
society. Most of the images in this exhibition were taken by Dupain while on
assignment for the Australian Government and were used to promote Australia to
domestic and international audiences. Also featured are photographs taken by
Dupain over many years for one of his earliest clients, CSR Limited (then known
as the Colonial Sugar Refining Company Limited).
Dupain’s photographs evoke a strong sense of time and place, from the capital
cities and rural scenes he captured in the 1940s and 1950s, to the striking
images of architecture and industry he produced in the 1960s and 1970s. This
exhibition showcases the diversity and longevity of Dupain’s commercial career,
tracing his development as a photographer and artist during this time.
Gallery open Monday to Friday 10am - 5pm; Saturday and Sunday 12pm - 4pm;
closed Australia Day (Jan 26).
