Beautiful Music will feature seven consecutive hour-long performances between 11am and 6pm on March 11.

Performing groups include the Junee Town Band, Junee Community Choir, the Champagne Flutes and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music's Saxophone Ensemble.

Nicole Ingram, Tim Verhoff and Murray Russell - all of whom will play the Athenium's new grand piano - will also feature prominently.

Ms Ingram is an accomplished performer, teacher and musical director with strong family ties to Junee.

Mr Verhoff has a wealth of experience as an associate director of CSU musicals, while Mr Russell sings with the Junee Community Choir and has been part of the Eisteddfod winning Choir of The Southern Cross. 

Friends of the Athenium publicity officer Judy-Ann Emberson said this year’s event would drastically raise the bar for music at future festivals.

“This really is quite a few notches above anything we’ve ever had,” she said.

“These are some of the best performers in the Riverina and it’ll be a real launch pad for having great music at future festivals.”

Local musical figures Keith and Fran Griffin have sourced part of the event’s talent from the Riverina Conservatorium of Music.

Tickets will be available for $10 on the day.
