Chisholm St: Michael Westlake Trio

Chisholm St is a live performance space on Wadawurrung country, Ballarat. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land and recognise that their sovereignty was never ceded.

Hosted by Bronwyn Blaiklock, Chisholm St is an intimate foray into fascinating corners of classical music. The platform was launched in March 2021 and offers a diverse series of concerts by regional musicians and spoken word performers. The intimate space gives you a rare glimpse into creative music-making, up close and personal.

Chisholm St: Michael Westlake Trio

Chisholm St is thrilled to bring you the enigmatic and talented Michael Westlake Trio. Local composer, Michael Westlake, is known for his ambient grooves and soundscapes. Michael is inspired by themes of the human spirit and its journey between this and other worlds. Be prepared for an enriching and immersive sound experience at Chisholm St when the Michael Westlake Trio perform one show only.
