Hosted by the Somerville Community House, the free afternoon concert brought together a lively mix of local talent, featuring the Keep In Step line dancers, Somerville Strummers ukulele group, Southern Sounds Chorus ladies’ a-capella ensemble, and mixed choir Peninsula Voices.
Somerville Community House manager Kim Fitcher opened the event, welcoming guests and introducing funny-man Don Jones, who served as MC. Jones kept the crowd entertained with his quick wit and light-hearted humour between performances.
The afternoon wrapped up with a light tea and raffle, rounding off a relaxed and good-spirited celebration that drew locals from Peninsula.
Organisers said the Smorgasbord of Music series continues to grow each year, offering a fun way for people to come together, enjoy live entertainment and celebrate the strong sense of community that defines Somerville.
A Celebration of Local Talent
First held in 2022, the Smorgasbord of Music has become a highlight of the Victorian Seniors Festival on the Mornington Peninsula — part of a statewide celebration recognising the contributions of older Victorians through a month of performances, activities and community events each October.
