Events

Our much loved verandah concerts returned early in 2025. We presented a program based on Stuart Riley’s ‘The Ring Cycle (abridged)’ to 50 keen audience members in Cape Paterson in February and about 60 in Parkville in March . The program was a light hearted take on the 18-hour Wagner epic condensed to 25 mins for string quintet and was very well received. We finished the year with another Parkville concert in November.

Keep an eye on our socials and website for more of these intimate house /verandah concerts scheduled for 2026

 The Gibson-Huberman Strad is one of the most famous violins in the world. Its story is like a TV drama, linking the great violin maker Stradivari, Brahms, Joachim, Huberman, the Musikverien Vienna, two thefts, the Holocaust and a "Schindler's List" project to save Jews the horrors of WWII, the Israel Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall, President Nixon; VP Hubert Humphrey, Norbert Brainin, the Amadeus String Quartet and finally (spoiler alert) Joshua Bell.

We played the music of Corelli, Brahms, Bach, Franck, Mozart, Vivaldi and more  reflecting key timepoints in the history of this incredible instrument.

Concert program

We will be repeating this exciting program at a number of private house concerts early in 2026. Let us know is you'd like to host a concert!
