In the Sweet By and By

Norfolk Island's most enchanting cultural experience awaits within the walls of the magnificent St Barnabas Chapel. In the Sweet By and By: A Musical Tribute is a lovingly curated 90-minute journey through the island's musical heritage, blending rare archival recordings with insightful expert commentary and a stirring live organ recital. The chapel's extraordinary acoustics and luminous stained glass create an atmosphere of profound beauty, while the programme
weaves past and present into a narrative that resonates long after the final note fades. Performed weekly throughout the year, this intimate experience is accessible to all — no musical background required, just an openness to being moved. Regularly described by guests as the highlight of their Norfolk Island visit, it is an essential inclusion for any cultural touring programme to the island.
