10th Anniversary Celebration | Friday

CURATED BY PEKKA KUUSISTO IN COLLABORATION WITH UKARIA

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
Concert tickets | Adult $120 | Conc $110
Duration | Two hours including a twenty-five-minute interval

Post-concert party | Post-concert canapés with the artists will be available for ticketholders to book separately for $55.
Pre-concert dining option | Bar Platter ($45; serves two)
Bus service | Return bus service between Adelaide and UKARIA; $20 per person.
