An update from the Director of the Elder Conservatorium of Music, Professor Graeme Koehne AO:
As I’m sure most of you are aware, government directives relating to the current health crisis have made it necessary for us to postpone our Lunchtime and Evening Concert Series for the first half of 2020. Ticket-holders and subscribers will be contacted in the near future to ascertain whether you would like to roll-over your purchase, until we resume our concert activities in the latter part of the year, or seek a refund.
Naturally, we are all disappointed that we cannot share our music-making with you over the next few months but, clearly, the health and wellbeing of our loyal patrons, our students, staff and associate artists is the priority.
We are currently investigating the possibility of sharing some of our concerts with you online. We will be in touch with you to let you know when and how to access these virtual concerts.
We ask for your patience and understanding through this difficult time – and for your continued support when we recommence our concert program.
I urge you all to take care during this challenging time until we can share the joy of music together, once again, in our iconic venue.
Kind regards,
Graeme

Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra
The shimmering arpeggios of Glière's harp concerto are the calm before the storm, prior to fate knocking at the door with the ominous first four notes of Beethoven’s fifth symphony. 03 Apr Pianists Konstantin Shamray and Michael Ierace bring Petrushka to life once again in this fiery version for piano four hands. 17 Apr An evocative mixture of words and music encompassing jazz, folk and traditional songs in a contemporary setting.
