Our History
The Balingup Music Experience started as Brookvale House concerts, which has produced fifty not-for-profit concerts since 2013. Such was the local support for these concerts that the over 3000 attendees raised in excess of $130,000 in door sales, the proceeds of which went back into providing the concerts.
Coordinators of the Brookvale House concerts recognised the potential and community support for the events, and so the Balingup Music Experience was born.
Over the past 9 years Balingup has seen an amazing line up in international and local performers of critical acclaim. Our past performances include;
