Join us for a wonderful evening of music with Blue Mountains pianist, James Tandy, exploring the compositions of Amanda Handel, Frédéric Chopin & Alexander Scriabin.

Illuminations of Mysticism & Poetry will be presented from 6-8pm on Saturday 30 November at Good Earth Bookshop in Wentworth Falls. Bookings are essential as our space is limited.

At James' request this event is to be a fundraiser for Children's Ground - an organisation that Good Earth Bookshop has supported for almost 3 years. Good Earth would like to partner James in his generosity.

After we have covered the costs of tuning the piano and providing refreshments, all proceeds from ticket sales will be sent to Children's Ground to support their work with Indigenous children and their communities. You can read more about Children's Ground here: https://childrensground.org.au...

If you would like to give more than the cost of your ticket to this cause, we will also be collecting donations on the night.
