Bushfire Appeal Concert by philip (20th March 20) GVCO played some of its items in preparation for this year's June Concert (including The Light Cavalry Overture, The Can Can and the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana). The concert was performed in conjunction with 36 Degrees South Choir and the Shepparton Brass and Wind Band, as well as some members of Shepparton Theatre Arts Group - Jan Deane, Nicky Pummeroy, Phil Oakes, Kat Mahoney - in order to raise funds for bushfire victims. Specifically the funds were directed equally to The Bendigo Bank Bushfire Fund and a group called "Resound", which funds musicians who have lost instruments in the fires. Over $3000 was raised in total.
