White
Hat suggests that if you love unaccompanied singing you take several weeks off
work and visit "a cappella" - the annual international festival of
unaccompanied vocal music in Leipzig - where you will hear great a cappella
ensembles from around the world. If you don't have that time or cash to spare, a
much cheaper but highly satisfying option is to head along to this concert
performed by the ensemble who initiated the festival and who are recognised as
one of the finest male vocal ensembles in the world.
Tales of Love and Murder. Renaissance madrigals by Encina,
des Prez,
Lassus,
Gesualdo and others, and
part-songs by Saint-Saëns,
Schubert,
Mendelssohn,
Poulenc, and folk songs from
around the world. |

in.cube8r gallery

|
|
in.cube8r gallery is a shop/gallery which runs like a long term market. It is open to anyone who makes things by hand and supports all things craft, art and hand-made in Melbourne. 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. |

Geelong Mill Markets

|
|
Until recently, this location hosted a large and popular market. That market has relocated to Newcomb (see below). The remaining Geelong Mills Matket now has a large array of retro advertising signs, furniture, and larger and quirky mechanical and industrial equipment. White Hat can recommend this market as a good source for those looking to do a quirky fitout as well as to theatre companies and film-makers looking for genuine period props. It now functions more as a warehouse so give a ring before making a special trip. |
