Kegelstatt Ensemble

This intimate performance brings together flute, viola, and guitar in a program that explores musical encounters across time. Works by Kapeller and Kreutzer offer classical elegance, contrasted with the rhythmic vitality of Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango and the expressive depth of Frederic Hand’s Samatureya. Interwoven solo works by J.S. and C.P.E. Bach provide quiet moments of reflection in a program that moves between eras, styles, and texture.

Step into a slow, immersive sound journey where nature, music and deep listening intertwine. Inspired by synesthesia - the blending of senses, like seeing colour in sound - this serene performance invites you to relax, wander, and reconnect through a richly textured live soundscape.

Kate Macfarlane and Ensemble 642 (Hannah Lane – baroque harp, Nicholas Pollock – lutes) return to Adelaide to explore the highly expressive mad songs of seventeenth century England. The program draws on the poetry, music and drama of this intriguing genre, interspersing contemporary readings and folk song to evoke the tumult of the human mind, and the dramatic intensity brought on by madness, longing and love.

Adelaide Chamber Singers’ Rising Voices will help you end the year on a musical high as they lift our voices to ‘raise you’ with music of emotional power and inspiration. Conducted by Carl Crossin.

Handel’s music is eternal, optimistic, lively, and given fresh life in this invigorating and inspiring performance. What Christmas is complete without the joyous music of “For unto us a child is Born”, the Hallelujah Chorus, and the resounding final Amen? And no more fitting venue than the beautiful surrounds of St Peter’s Cathedral.
