Mostly Mozart 2026 Is Here — And It’s Magnificent
|
Hi Reader, It’s Angie here, a new and inspired contributor for Seniors in Melbourne. Have you ever visited the Melbourne Recital Centre? The recent Mostly Mozart concert was my first experience there — and what a delightful introduction it was. One of the joys of reaching “Seniors status” is embracing more first-time experiences, and this one included morning tea, beautiful music, and discovering ANAM — the Australian National Academy of Music, where young musicians refine their craft. The concert began with a spirited La Marseillaise for four hands, followed by two dreamy sonatas, each performed with such harmony and joy. The final performance, Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, with ANAM’s Artistic Director Paavali Jumppanen on piano, was an absolute highlight. The morning was a wonderful celebration of music, talent and atmosphere — an experience I’ll be remembering for a long time. It's worth checking out their 2026 program which has just launched. Warmly,

Hello Reader, Last week I found myself in a room full of the people shaping the future of tourism in Victoria. The occasion was the Victorian Tourism Industry Council’s annual Vision Summit — where operators, event organisers, government and industry leaders gather to talk about what’s ahead. One thing became very clear. Tourism isn’t just a “nice to have”. It’s a $46 billion industry in Victoria — bigger than mining and agriculture combined. I reflected on why I started Seniors in Melbourne...
Hello Reader, I’ve recently started following the journey of a Melbourne retiree named Michael Kerrisk — and I can’t stop thinking about it. At 63, Michael has set himself a remarkable challenge: travelling from Melbourne to London without getting on a single plane. No quick long-haul flight, no shortcuts. Instead, trains, buses, ships and a carefully mapped route that will take him through Southeast Asia, across China and into Central Asia — the “Stans” — before eventually reaching Europe....
Hello Reader, It's Terrie here. Last week we took an easy train ride to the Showgrounds for the Caravan and Camping Show — and what a sight! From enormous luxury motorhomes (sadly beyond our budget!) to compact little vans, there were hundreds to step inside and compare. I quickly realised how useful it is to inspect them in person. Some were easy to climb into, others not so much — wobbly steps and missing handrails are worth noting. The Showgrounds is large, so I was grateful for the...
