    During the nineteen ninetees I would regularly attend twilight concerts at Yarra Grange, when the late Michael Herman would open his beautiful garden for AIDS fund raising, in association with the Red Cross. These events were held around the swimming pool. Michael had the knack of successfully inviting such well known and loved musicians as the late Geoffery Towzer, Susan Johnston, Judi Connelly; the list goes on.
    I would like to know if similar events are still being presented. Also, do the Herman family still own the property?
