Meridiem Wind Orchestra

Meridiem Wind Orchestra returns to the stage after more than two years! MWO is an outstanding symphonic wind ensemble made up of some of Victoria’s finest musicians and music educators. They will be performing under the batons of Artistic Director, Scott MacInnes, and Guest Conductor, Dr. Steven Capaldo.

The program for Angels in the Architecture takes its title from a dramatic work by the award-winning American composer, Frank Ticheli, inspired by the Sydney Opera House with its halo-shaped acoustical ornaments hanging directly above the performance stage. Other works include La Mezquita de Cordoba (Giroux), Old Churches (Colgrass), Cathedrals (Salfelder), and Cavalry of the Clouds (Alford); paying musical tribute to the sacred structures ubiquitously found in cityscapes worldwide.

Tickets are by donation (suggested: $20) and can be purchased in advance on Eventbrite or with cash at the door.

We acknowledge the support of the CRD Arts & Culture Support Service.


Music for symphonic wind orchestra, inspired by sacred structures.

In Room for Not Knowing, abstract artist Georgina Montgomery explores what it means to accept, and not be undone by, life’s unpredictability. 

“[In life] letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. ... We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know.” (Pema Chödrön)

Featured are new photography-based single and assembled print works from her “painting with crazed light” project, Caustic Optimism. 

Using a simple photography-based approach, she purposely disrupts her view of ordinary backdrops to see the upended situation with fresh eyes. From this visual chaos she captures rich, painting-like works that are as unexpected as they are compelling.

Montgomery coined the term Caustic Optimism, a blend of caustic optics and cautious optimism. Since 2019, she has been shooting through a single warped-glass object, drawn to the unique compositions, shapes and colours she finds in the highly refracted and reflected light patterns—what physicists call caustic optics. Filtered through her optimistic mindset, this crazed light becomes both material and subject for her project.

Show opens, Thurs, April 21 (6-8 pm). Runs Fri-Sun, April 22 to May 1 (12-4 pm, Fri & Sat; 12-3 pm, Sun); and Wed, April 27 (11 am-2 pm). Gallery located at 600 Richmond Ave in Fairfield. Lots of free parking. Artist in attendance.

Vaccine passports no longer required. Masks optional.
