What’s On
Inkling is a string trio of violin, mandolin, and cello that weaves melodies with warmth and mischief. Since 2021, Inkling has played from living rooms to wide verandahs, festival stages to walled gardens — including appearances at Three Bridges Festival, The Q Gallery, Ern Malley Bar, Urrbrae House, Wirrina Bluegrass & Roots Festival, the Wheatsheaf Hotel, Stone Pony, Carrick Hill, Auburn Heritage Arts and many an intimate house concert and folk club.
Made up of three generous, intuitive musicians — Allye Sinclair (cello), Dylan Woolcock (mandolin), and Robert Wallace (violin) — Inkling brings a sound both grounded and radiant. Forrest House, Miller's Corner is a small and warm venue, perfectly suited to getting up close and comfy to the music on a winter's afternoon.
Tim Kerstin | Lute
Emma Horwood | Soprano
The lute music of John Dowland and Daniel Bacheler. John Dowland and Daniel Bacheler were the two preeminent lutenists of the English Golden Age. This concert is a playful juxtaposition of their lute music, exploring shared themes and motifs, plus parodies they made of each other’s work. As a special feature, Emma Horwood will perform songs linked to the lute pieces presented.

Join us for a powerful evening of story and song with singer-songwriter Nathan May, as he premiers a new chamber music concert that blurs the lines between contemporary country, folk and Baroque traditions. In a collaboration with genre-defying violinist, Julian Farraretto and Adelaide Baroque string quartet, Nathan’s intimate songs – centred on connection to country, family and truth-telling – are reimagined through rich string textures, improvisation, and immersive staging by director, Chris Drummond.

Kate Macfarlane | Soprano
Hannah Lane | Baroque Harp
Nick Pollock | Theorbo
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.
