✨ I invite you to a special evening born from silence, harmony, and love for music - 🎶 **Music needs no translation — it speaks in the voice of the heart, even when the world falls silent.** In times like these, it feels more important than ever to keep listening — and to truly hear. There is music that sounds beautiful. And there is music that has lived through history. A few things to know before concert [Harmony Bridge: Ukraine–Australia. With Ukraine in the Heart](https://www.facebook.com/events/2444840435976414/?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZaiWrl7AdRwZQkjTd5wGfL8ETUtwOtQ-Vs6ndJuTGBF4OQKRYH77tMtTDzcyw3EHXVl4xMPwNZojzfo46Yup3h-uXx0EwfWoNgd7GbYPjS4yrECQtadB0kiBCI2bKc_9g231u4mbqYqrPbl4OR00vgWc_ZCZbDtBlaGjIlM3h32MeJNHU9PZBEblMXgfOq-nfSlsitlkxwwV_qAnY62q43f&__tn__=-UK-R): A string quartet is a form where nothing can be hidden — every sound is exposed, every emotion is real. That is why composers entrusted it with their most personal thoughts. Ukrainian chamber music was often created in difficult times — becoming a way to preserve what could not be spoken aloud. Some of the melodies you will hear were written over a century ago, yet they still resonate as if they were created today. A quartet is always a conversation. Between instruments. Between composer and listener. Between past and present. On 3 May, this conversation will come to life. * **🗓 Sunday, 3 May 2026 – 3:00 PM** **⏰ Doors open 2:00 PM** **📍 Ukrainian House, 3–11 Russell Street, Essendon VIC 3040** * 🎟️ **Tickets:** [https://www.trybooking.com/DKDFH](https://www.trybooking.com/DKDFH?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExODEzeTdTWlV4bUV4dzRzdHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR71eSdmD05pJ_PtDBCBCw1OTw2dzJJfSzLjIxC2q84asDiDVz-nklmP5Kx6bA_aem_3ipqV8ZEvf1tktRE_kI40Q) * or cash at the doors **TICKETS** $35 – GENERAL ADMISSION $45 – CONCESSION STUDENT \| PENSIONER \| UNEMPLOYED All proceeds will support **Harmony Bridge: Ukraine–Australia**, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preserving and promoting Ukrainian music and arts in Australia. 🌿 Music that stays with you long after the final note.

From the moment we leave Melbourne, the rhythm begins to slow. The road opens into rolling Gippsland hills, forests deepen, and the air shifts — fresher, softer, calmer. In **Noojee**, we ease into a **gentle, scenic hike** through tall trees and peaceful trails, moving at a comfortable pace with space to connect, unwind, and simply be present. After the walk, we gather for a **relaxed picnic with a fresh fruit platter, snacks, and drinks — all included**. A moment to share, recharge, and enjoy nature together. The afternoon flows into a **quiet riverside experience** — a short walk through town brings us to the water, where we pause for a **guided meditation and grounding session**, surrounded by stillness. We continue with a scenic drive through the countryside, stopping at a **beautiful lookout** for views across the rolling hills, before finishing the day with a visit to a **local sculpture gallery** — adding a creative and cultural touch. No planning. No stress. Just a smooth, meaningful day of nature, movement, and connection. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ## 🎒 **All-Inclusive Experience — $99** ✅ Comfortable **Mercedes minivan transport** 🚐 ✅ Guided **10 km scenic hike** + gear support 🥾 ✅ Meditation & grounding session 🌿 ✅ Fresh **fruit platter picnic** 🍉 ✅ Unlimited **snacks,** soft drinks, coffee & tea ☕ ✅ Scenic lookouts & curated itineraries 🌄 ✅ Friendly, welcoming group atmosphere \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- #### 🕒 Itinerary: 🌅 **07:00 — Pick-up from Melbourne CBD (St Paul’s Cathedral)** ⛽ **07:30 — Stop break** 🌿 **09:00 — Arrival in Noojee** ☕ Morning tea / coffee / snacks *(all included)* 🥾 **09:15 — Easy Scenic Hike** • \~10 km \| \~170 m elevation • Comfortable pace, forest & views 🍉 **13:00 — Picnic Lunch** • Fruit platter + snacks + drinks *(all included)* 🌊 **14:00 — River Walk + Meditation** • Gentle walk through town • Guided grounding session by the water 🌄 **15:00 — Lookout Stop** • Scenic views across Gippsland hills 🎨 **15:30 — Sculpture Gallery Visit** 🚐 **18:00 — Return to Melbourne CBD** 📍 Drop-off: Hamer Hall \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🎒 What to Bring?** ✔️ **Comfortable hiking shoes (or able to supply, let me know size)** **✔️ Wind/water-resistant jacket**🧥 ✔️ **Long pants & long sleeves** 🌿 ✔️ **Hat/beanie** 🧢 ✔️ **A positive mindset & big smile!** 😊 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💰 How to Book?** Secure your spot with a **$99 transfer**: 🔹 **PayID:** 0414 661 458 🔹 **Bank Transfer:** **NAME:** KARAPETIAN G **BSB:** 013233 **ACCOUNT:** 226325836 **Ref:** NOO 🌟 **Limited spots available—RSVP now!** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ❗️**Please Note:** **Payments are only credited or refunded if the event is canceled or rescheduled by the organizer.** In all other circumstances, payments are **non-refundable and non-transferable**. ❗️Thank you for understanding and supporting the planning involved in creating these experiences! 🌿 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📢 **Questions?** Feel free to **DM me anytime!** 📩 ✨ **Let’s make this an adventure to remember** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Visit our sources: https://www.facebook.com/groups/812911556223655/?ref=share Instagram: nogeography.hike.kayak https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/no-geography-hike-and-kayak/ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \*\*\*Where Relaxation Meets Adventure **\*\*\*** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **LIABILITY WAIVER** The organizer of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury, or accident to participants or their property at this event.
