The first concert of our 10th Anniversary Celebration is a reflection on UKARIA’s story of the last 10 years, and the creativity which has been inspired by this place. It echoes our opening concert in August 2015 with a performance of Matthew Hindson’s Ngeringa, then celebrates our growing international presence in a program curated by a visionary artist who we have long aspired to bring to our stage – Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto.

FRIDAY 22 AUGUST 6.30PM
