The Ballarat Synagogue at 2 Barkly Street in East Ballarat, is one of the few surviving Nineteenth Century synagogues in Victoria. Designed by architect T. B. Cameron, the Synagogue was built in 1861. Situated on the Victorian goldfields, its importance was such that its first Rabbi was Av (head) of the first recognised Australian Beth Din. The gold rush brought many Jewish people to Ballarat and the first congregation was held in 1853 and for decades the local community was the largest in the Victorian colony.
The single storey building is one of the early surviving buildings in Ballarat and is important in the streetscape and townscape of the city and in the history of the area. Architecturally the structure is an interesting example of conservative Classical design, given distinction by the architectural treatment of its facade and portico. The main facade of the brick structure was corner Tuscan pilasters supporting a parapet entablature. Paired Tuscan squared columns and pilasters support the pedimented prostyle portico and the windows are roundheaded.
The interior of the building, with features such as the ladies gallery, is in very good condition. The interior seen today is the result of extensive remodeling in 1878 including notable internal use of Victorian iron lacework panels on the balconies of the gallery and magnificent ceiling fretworks from which hang impressive crystal chandeliers. Beautiful windows with blue and red stained glass panels fill the Synagogue with light. Presiding above all is a very grand arched stained glass window created in 1884, which according to legend, is made from glass taken from a 16th Century Irish mansion.

Part of a series of architrave blocks bearing magnificent carvings of heads connected by swags of foliage.
These are some of the most perfectly preserved examples and indicate the importance of Aphrodisias as a centre for high quality sculpture.
Numerous other examples survive in the museum gardens or nearby of varying quality and condition, a reminder of just how richly embellished this city must once have been.
Probably the most fun I've had taking pictures of a band. Smashing fruit has to be the way forward. Everyone should go check out Classically Handsome Brutes, like their page, listen to their music and buy their shit.

Originally built in 514 BCE, Suzhou has over 2,500 years of rich history, and relics of the past are abundant to this day. The city's canals, stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed gardens have contributed to its status as one of the top tourist attractions in China. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1279), it has also been an important centre for China's silk industry.
The classical gardens in Suzhou were added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and 2000. Suzhou is often dubbed the "Venice of the East" or "Venice of China".

Tribute Communities Recital Hall
Two of Canada’s leading classical performers come together for a thrilling concert featuring contemporary Canadian works on January 17, 2012 in the Tribute Communities Recital Hall at York University’s Keele campus. Violinist Jacques Israelievitch and pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico, both professors in York’s Department of Music, offer an evening of repertoire as diverse and inspiring as the Canadian landscape.
The program features a selection of complex but lyrical 20th century works by established Canadian composers. It includes Oskar Morawetz’s Duo ( 1961), James Rolfe’s Drop (1998), Gary Kulesha’s …and dark time flowed by her like a river… (1993) and André Prévost’s Improvisation (1976).
The concert culminates with Raymond Luedeke’s monumental Fancies and Interludes VI (1988). The quick changes of metering in the piano parts are “rhythmically challenging” for a performer, Petrowska Quilico notes, but the artists revel in the work’s “lovely tonal colours” and how they contrast with sections of exciting primal rhythms.
An internationally known violinist, Israelievitch served as concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for two decades before joining York University’s Music Department in 2008. He has appeared as chamber musician with such luminaries as Emanuel Ax, Yefim Bronfman and Yo-Yo Ma, and performs regularly with the Naumburg Award-winning New Arts Trio and in the Israelievitch Duo with his son, percussionist Michael Israelievitch. His extensive discography includes the Juno-nominated Suite Hebraique with pianist John Greer and the first complete recording of Kreutzer’s 42 Etudes for solo violin. An avid performer of contemporary music, he has had works by Canadian composers R. Murray Schafer and Jeffrey Ryan commissioned for him by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The Toronto Musicians’ Association presented him with its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 in recognition of his distinguished contribution to the performing arts in Canada.
One of Canada’s foremost pianists and a multiple Juno nominee, Petrowska Quilico has appeared in solo recitals, chamber settings and with orchestras on four continents. Widely recognized as an innovative and adventurous artist, she is a longtime champion of contemporary and Canadian music, and has premiered more than 100 works by leading North American and European composers. Eminent Canadian composers she has collaborated with over the course of her stellar career include Ann Southam, Violet Archer, Glenn Buhr, Christos Hatzis, Alexina Louie, Larysa Kuzmenko and John Weinzweig. She was awarded the 2007 Friends of Canadian Music Award through the Canadian Music Centre and Canadian League of Composers in recognition of her dedication to Canadian contemporary classical music and her “unwavering support for Canada’s composing community”. In late 2011 she released her 26th CD, Tapestries, a collection of Canadian concerti. She has taught piano performance and musicology at York since 1987.
