We hope that you had a lovely Christmas and a great new year, but it was too hot for everything except sitting in the theatre watching a film.

Book Club and Christopher Robin were lots of fun.

This year for office hours, a Trash and Treasure sale will be operating until Wednesday January 23.

The Australian film Ladies in Black ($12pp) directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Julia Ormond, Angourie Rice and Rachael Taylor screens Wednesday January 16 at 10:30am and 7pm and Sunday January 20 at 5pm.

Then the Arts Centre Cootamundra will host Andrew Blanch and Ariel Nurhadi on January 24 at 7pm.

These perfomers have been playing as a guitar duo since 2014 and are described as “two stunning young guitarists…virtuosic” (Sydney Arts Guide) and have been praised for their “dazzling guitar playing” (ArtsHub).

Their current duo project entitled Alchemy, is named after the very first piece they learnt together, by the late great Australian guitarist and composer Phillip Houghton.

Alchemy is something of a ‘world tour’, featuring some of the finest music written/arranged for guitar duet with masterpieces from France, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, USA, and Australia, and composers like Jean-Phillip Rameau, Claude Debussy, Enrique Granados, Isaac Albeniz and Manuel de Falla as well as Houghton’s acclaimed ‘Three Duets’ that encapsulates Alchemy.

Tickets are adults $25 with children $15 available at the centre and the door.
