A Man of Influence—11 April 2010

Filed under Collaboration event, Event 2009-, History, Michael Bottomley event by admin

A Man of Influence: A tribute to Edmund Beilharz OAM

Conducted by Michael Bottomley

Our revered musical director of 12 years, Edmund Beilharz OAM, passed away in June 2009. Born into a community of German settlers in Palestine, Edmund and his family were transported to Australia and interned here during World War 2. From that time, throughout his life, wherever he was, Edmund tirelessly created music in his community. In Bendigo, as a school teacher, community member and, for us, as our musical director, he made an enormous contribution. We miss him a lot.
