It will be a year full of art, culture and music with this year’s ‘Culture Tracks’.
The event was launched at The Memo in Healesville on Monday 5 February.
About 150 people attended the event to get a preview of the upcoming talent showing this year.
There will be an array of international and Australian talent at six of the Yarra Ranges’ best venues.
Seven of the program’s acts performed at the launch, some including: columnist Hanni Rayson, guitarists Ziggy and Miles Johnston, Blue Heelers actors John Wood and Julie Nhill and the Melbourne Ballet.
Mayor Noel Cliff officially opened Culture Tracks, and said the program was a great way to see some of the best performances without having to travel great distances.
“It’s just fabulous,” Mr Cliff said.
He spoke about how Culture Tracks brought the community, art, culture and partners together.
Culture Tracks was proud to present Australian-Israeli singer Lior as a headlining act for the program.
This year’s Culture Tracks will be held at Burrinja Culture Centre in Upwey, Mooroolbark Community Centre, The Memo in Healesville, Arts Centre Warburton, Montrose Town Centre and Yarra Ranges Regional Museum in Lilydale.
