James Littlewood (bass trombone) and Jenny Lu (piano) invite you to a romantic recital in the enchanting setting of Duneira Estate. ‘Promises’ is a concert of intimate chamber music that lingers on the quiet vows that we make to love, remember and hope. Nostalgia unfolds with tender lyricism through the music of Kaprálová, Korngold and Still. The program is imbued with the timeless pondering of faith by Bach’s St Matthew Passion, contrasting with the playful vitality of Defaye’s Deux Danses.

In the soft light of an autumn afternoon, the music in this recital unfurls its amorous promises, suspended and kept in songs.

Thursday Art Club at Duneira Estate
An informal, welcoming art group designed to foster creativity,
conversation, and community.
Time: 10.00am – 1.00pm (every second Thursday)
Facilitator: Miffy Gilbert
Medium: Open — all artistic media welcome
Format: Relaxed, social, and garden-inspired, with access to the
Estate as a source of creative reference
Pricing:
5 sessions for the price of 4
$450 per person (15 hours total contact time)

Each workshop is a stand-alone day for immersing in botanical art and coloured pencil tips and tricks.  The 3 sessions can also act as a series, centring around a different seasonal plant subject. These workshops are designed to build skills and confidence through the introduction of new techniques. Our botanical subjects will be drawn from the Estate, allowing the gardens themselves to act as muse.

Included in the day:

Guided tour of the heritage house and gardens

Morning tea, afternoon tea, and lunch boxes
All plant material supplied
Structured botanical art tuition

This April visit Duneira Estate from Tuesday - Sunday as we open the gardens and our tearooms for the Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival.

Each ticket includes the Entry Fee and complimentary shuttle bus which you can hop on if you park at centennial park or the carpark at the church of resurrection at the base of Mount Macedon on Mount Macedon Rd. This complementary shuttle bus stops at Viewfield, Forest Glade and Duneira and runs on weekends and public holidays over April.

Step inside Duneira Estate this autumn and experience the grandeur of its historic 1870s Italianate Victorian house. Built in 1876 as a summer retreat for Suetonius and Mary Officer, the home offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era of elegance and refinement. Today, it comes alive with Stuart Stoneman’s extraordinary private art collection, thoughtfully displayed throughout its richly detailed interiors. Wander through and discover a captivating fusion of stunning architecture and remarkable artworks in this truly unique heritage experience.
