Mosman Art Gallery: Sydney, AUSTRALIA
Starting to discover some of the smaller venues in Sydney... and this Art Gallery in Mosman in Sydney is one of the more common ones, with a regular concert series for chamber sized ensembles.
Mosman (in Sydney), for those who don't know, is one of the more affluent suburbs in Sydney... its pretty nice, and the people there are pretty damn well off as well. Sort of the thing that gets annoyingly associated with Classical music... something that my wife and I are trying break... but we are fighting decades of entrenched perception.
Anyway, off topic... the art gallery seems to be a repurposed church of some sort... and there are quite a few things that are going on... kids concerts, concert concerts, art lectures, and other community events.
I didn't think that I had been here before... but somehow, the place seemed quite familiar. Sure, I did some house-sitting in the are when I was a student... but I think that I also had played a concert in this place a very long time ago as well.
So, the main business of the gallery is... gallery stuff. So, the walls are lined with lots of artwork that is for display and sale. No surprise there!
But one of the old large spaces (I wonder if it was the gym or the church hall?) has been converted into a large performance space.... which I guess also doubles as a community space, and likely hosts yoga classes as well!
... but for this moment, a very high spaced concert space!
And as you would expect from all the wood and brick, it is a very live acoustic to play in... but interestingly enough, as soon as there was an audience... they really soaked up the reflections and resonance... not a problem on the bass end, but the trebles lost carrying power and definition.
... and in the park, there was a really aggressive kookaburra that snatched my lunch out my hands. Bastarad!

It looks like a beautiful old building. I'm glad they were able to repurpose it.
I thought I recognised that building but I haven't been to Sydney and it is most likely because it's church shaped XD
the interior does scream church
We have a Mosman Park in Perth, think it's towards Fremantle way, must be in the name as from memory that area is VERY affluent as well XD
Some kookaburras are like that apparently. I remember ages ago meeting up with some friends for a barbeque and we were sitting in a circle eating and chatting when there was a brown SWOOSH startling us as it went straight through the centre of the group, and one of my friends stared at his now empty hand in surprise and was like MY KEBAB?! We looked around and saw a kookaburra some distance away trying very hard to eat the kebab. It spent ages bashing the meat against the post it was sitting on and after eating it just kind of sat there for ages, we imagined it looked kind of ill XD
