We are thrilled to be joining friends, collaborators and colleagues to celebrate ten years of the incredible UKARIA Cultural Centre!
Sunday afternoon concerts have always been at the heart of UKARIA, and this incredible celebration series concludes under the light of the winter sun. Pekka Kuusisto will lead some of Australia’s finest musicians through a program of extraordinary colours, featuring many of the instruments held in trust by UKARIA. To bring the weekend to a joyous close, Pekka will unite his band for an improvisatory folk music party!
“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.
