Songs for nature and aid

A Belgrave South charity concert will shine a spotlight on the environment while supporting women in need.

A Pathway into Nature is a Sacred Stage event to raise money for a shelter for women experiencing homelessness.

It will feature short musical acts in various genres, from folk to classical, Celtic, country and more.

Singer Jacqui Rutten started running Sacred Stage concerts back in 2007.

“I think homelessness is one of the biggest issues in Australia at the moment,” she said.

“I think it’s causing a lot of pressure for families, for the elderly, for young people.

“The women and children are the most vulnerable.

“It’s a small hall, so we probably won’t raise a fortune, but I wanted to make the concert affordable for locals as well.”

Other performers will include Tecoma harpist Elizabeth Sutherland, John Hunter on guitar and harmonica, singer and banjo player Anne-Maria Plevier, and country trio Oh Suzannah.

Ms Rutten said she was looking forward to hearing each of their interpretations of the concert title and theme.

“The focus is on nature because that’s really the major asset of the hills that we’ve got here,” she said.

Southern Sherbrooke Historical Society, 127 Colby Drive, Belgrave South, will host A Pathway into Nature from 2pm on Saturday 8 June.

Entry is $15 for adults and free for children.

Book via info@sacredstage.com.au or 0455 044 764. Some tickets will be available at the door.
