We are thrilled to be joining friends, collaborators and colleagues to celebrate ten years of the incredible UKARIA Cultural Centre!
The first concert of UKARIA’s 10th Anniversary Celebration is a reflection on its story of the last 10 years, and the creativity which has been inspired by this place. It echoes UKARIA’s opening concert in August 2015 with a performance of Matthew Hindson’s Ngeringa, then celebrates the organisation’s growing international presence in a program curated by the visionary artist – Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto.
“I wanted the beauty of sound to shine above all else.”
My words from the opening ceremony still ring true today. UKARIA is a place born out of a daring dream, holding music at its heart, ever evolving and expanding its boundaries to create pathways into the future.
– Ulrike Klein AO, Founder
To commemorate this milestone, UKARIA presents three concerts which encompass the diversity of its programming and artistic relationships.
Their Featured Artist, violinist Pekka Kuusisto, will curate the Friday and Sunday concerts in collaboration with UKARIA, while the Saturday concert will be curated by Kate Miller-Heidke and Iain Grandage.
They will be joined by some of Australia’s finest musicians, and it will be an opportunity to hear almost all of UKARIA’s unique collection of rare and fine instruments played together for the first time.
