Music at McClelland

Music at McClelland is held on the third Sunday of the month and features exceptional performers from across Australia. Music at McClelland represents the perfect fusion of art, music and nature. A beautiful program curated by Monica Curro, violinist MSO and Co-Artistic Director Port Fairy Spring Music Festival, Curro shares; “I am so excited to unveil our third annual Music at McClelland Series in 2024, which celebrates the astounding talents of the best Australian creatives in this unique setting of McClelland." They kicked off in February with the sizzling jazz age Cairo Club Orchestra, then throughout the year they have a conga line of the most brilliant and beloved chamber groups - Ensemble Liaison, Sutherland Trio, Flinders Quartet, and Connection - the virtuosic yidaki (didgeridoo) of Amos Roach (Gunditjmara, Djab Wurrung, Ngarrandjerri), interwoven with flute, harp, viola, electronics and field recordings. There’s a dazzling solo recital from superstar pianist Stefan Cassomenos; the trailblazing soprano and harpsichord duo of Judith Dodsworth and Joy Lee; and three concerts revealing the stars of the future, from three internationally recognised training institutions - the Melba Opera Trust, the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) Brass Ensemble, and the Australian Youth Orchestra Momentum Ensemble with percussionist extraordinaire Claire Edwardes. Hosted in the intimate Sarah and Baillieu Myer Education Pavilion which overlooks McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery.
