Art series hotel The Schaller Studio and The Capital theatre will host shows between February 6 and 8.

The weekend opens with a cocktail party on Friday, February 6, at the Schaller Studio featuring Chris Howlett and Howard Penny before The Capital theatre hosts pianist Daniel de Borah on Saturday afternoon.

Saturday night sees Berlin-based violist William Coleman perform as will Paul Dean, Chris Howlett, Howard Penny and Ian Munro at The Capital.

For people who have purchased a weekend pass, they have a complimentary Sunday pass to the Bendigo Art Gallery.

"We have been running for four years but this is our first event in Bendigo," organiser Chris Howlett said.

"This year with the help of Bendigo Tourism and the City of Greater Bendigo, we are excited to host events in Bendigo."

"We have been blown away by the success."

The Sanguine Estate Music Festival will continue on February 14 at the winery in Heathcote with a sold out event featuring more classical artists. 

"William Coleman is one of the world's leading viola players and Daniel de Borah has one international competitions."

The event finished third in the RACV Victorian Tourism Awards best festival category last year. "This year's Heathcote event sold out before last year's festival had even finished," Mr Howlett said.

"We developed this idea while sitting in a barrel room thinking about holding a concert. We decided if we are going to do it for a day we might as well do it for a whole weekend."

Tickets for the festival launch at the Schaller Studio are $60.

Tickets for the afternoon session on Saturday are $31.

Tickets for the Saturday night show are $37.

A weekend pass that gives you access to all three events as well as a complimentary pass for the Bendigo Art Gallery on Sunday is $125.
