"The response has been overwhelmingly positive, it couldn't have been an easier, more streamlined, beautiful experience for all of the guests who came to the event," Mr Barker said.

"We're really proud and happy that we made it happen in Bathurst ... Hopefully we'll be on a fixture every year now."

The three-day festival was held at the picturesque grounds of Blackdown Farm on Eleven Mile Drive, which perfectly complimented the different events.

The pianists along with director and internationally renowned Italian-Slovenian pianist Alexander Gadjiev put on six concerts over the long weekend.

There were also four food and wine events held in between performances, showcasing local produce.

The festival not only brought Sydney-siders to town, but saw people from Armidale and Melbourne make the trip to enjoy the performances and what Bathurst has to offer.

"Even after the first concert on Saturday people were already coming up to me to say this is amazing, you have to do this again," Mr Barker said.

"I'm just really pleased that the success of the event has been echoed throughout everyone leaving.

"All of those people who came here leave behind an economic value to the community, because they buy fuel here, they pay for accommodation, they're buying food. It's a great positive economic injection back into the local community."

Mr Barker is looking forward to hopefully making the festival an annual event, bringing visitors and high-class entertainment to the region for years to come.
