We are thrilled to be joining friends, collaborators and colleagues to celebrate ten years of the incredible UKARIA Cultural Centre!

UKARIA has always welcomed music and musicians from across the musical spectrum. And few artists sit so comfortably in a multitude of worlds as Kate Miller-Heidke. For this special anniversary concert, she shares all-new songs from her forthcoming album, alongside much-loved hits from her huge back catalogue. She is joined onstage not only by longtime collaborators Keir Nuttall, Sam Pankhurst and Iain Grandage but also the Australian String Quartet and a guest appearance from 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.
