SUMMARY:Women's Adventure Film Tour
DESCRIPTION:Real Stories\, bold spirits\, adventure\, redefined. Join us for a night of community connection\, inspiring film and great prizes from our passionate partners. \nPresented by Mountain Designs – The Women’s Adventure Film Tour returns for its 10th year\, and we’re proud to once again share a collection of short films that celebrate remarkable women exploring the world around them. From local trails to remote summits\, these films go beyond the extreme to spotlight something deeper: courage\, connection\, and personal challenge. Some stories are quiet. Some are full of grit. All are about what it means to step outside your comfort zone — in your own way. \nCurated for audiences of all ages\, WAFT 2026 brings together real journeys by women from a wide range of backgrounds\, cultures\, and sports. Whether it’s a weekend hike or a world-first expedition\, this is a film event that invites you to pause\, reflect\, and feel inspired by the strength of others. \nNow screening globally and officially part of Women’s Health Week in Australia\, WAFT continues to grow while staying true to its original spirit: sharing stories worth telling — and celebrating every kind of adventure.

SUMMARY:Musica Viva Concert - "Streeton Trio..."
DESCRIPTION:Streeton Trio – Women Who Dared \nBold\, brilliant women in chamber music. \nJoin the Streeton Trio for a powerful and inspiring evening celebrating the brilliance and resilience of women in music. This program shines a light on four extraordinary female composers who defied convention and left a lasting mark on the classical world. The concert opens with Fanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D minor (Germany)\, a passionate and lyrical masterpiece that rivals the works of her famous brother\, Felix. Despite societal barriers\, Fanny composed over 400 works\, proving that talent knows no gender. Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (Canada) soars with fiery intensity and breathtaking virtuosity\, symbolizing rebirth and transformation—a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Spirit and the Maiden blends haunting beauty with raw energy\, drawing inspiration from folklore to tell a story of courage and resilience. Clara Schumann’s Trio in G minor\, Op. 17 (Germany) is testament to the child prodigy turned musical trailblazer. Clara balanced motherhood and a legendary career to create an enduring legacy as one of history’s greatest musicians. This concert celebrates women’s voices\, creativity\, and determination\, proving that the power of music—and the power of women—knows no bounds. \nProgramme: Fanny MENDELSSOHN (1805–1847)\, Piano Trio in D minor\, Op. 11 (1846–1847); Kelly-Marie MURPHY (b. 1964)\, Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (1997); Elena KATS-CHERNIN (b. 1957)\, Spirit and the Maiden (2004); Clara SCHUMANN (1819–1896)\, Piano Trio in G minor\, Op. 17 (1846).
