The Brycefield Festival returns in March 2027, with a delightful weekend of music, entertainment and good company, bringing together outstanding performers, music, friendship and a little theatrical magic, in the beautiful surroundings of the Hunter Valley.
Opening the Festival on Saturday 13 March is the wonderfully entertaining Stuart Maunder, joined by Anne-Maree McDonald, in his cabaret Mad Songs of Englishmen. Expect an evening of wit, charm, musical mischief and quintessentially English eccentricity as this talented duo takes audiences on a journey through the wonderfully quirky world of Gilbert and Sullivan’s English songs, together with a sprinkling of Noel Coward. With Stuart’s theatrical flair and infectious sense of humour, complemented by Anne-Maree’s musical artistry, this promises to be a memorable and thoroughly entertaining opening night.
The performance is preceded by canapés and wine in the Brycefield Estate gardens. Matt Dillow and his fabulous team from Gartelmann Wines will be providing the catering, and Bruce Caldwell and Deborah Humble are proud to be showcasing their new vintage sparkling Blanc de Blanc. Ticket price $140
On Sunday 14 March, the Festival continues with the return of the ever-popular Music Lunch at Luigi’s. Combining beautiful singing, delicious Italian food and a convivial atmosphere, this much-loved event has become a highlight of the Festival calendar, held at Lillino’s restaurant at St Clement’s Winery in Lovedale.
Once again, acclaimed pianist Sharolyn Kimmorley will accompany our singers, bringing her exceptional musicianship and artistry to an afternoon of operatic and musical theatre favourites. The guest singers will include soprano Sophie Blades and tenor Asher Reichman. Others will be announced in due course, but audiences can look forward to wonderful voices, memorable performances and the pleasure of sharing great music around the lunch table.
The two events, offer two very different musical experiences, both celebrating the joy of live performance.
