Concert Hall (Sunday, 8 – 10 pm)
This is your opportunity to catch the best of Canberra’s live classical music performances by local and international artists. Every year Art Sound volunteers record around 50 such concerts. You can hear many of them on Concert Hall and also keep in touch with musical events coming up around town.
Concert Hall sources its live concerts from such venues as the ANU School of Music, the Wesley Music Centre, the National Gallery, the National Library, University House and local churches. We cover all genres and forms of classical music performed by solo instruments and voices, ensembles, orchestras and choirs.
Coming up on Concert Hall:
There is something for everyone here - fine chamber music from the piano trio Trioz and a variety of local and interstate instrumentalists, two very different choirs and some of the piano classics of the 19th and 20th centuries performed by Michael Kieran Harvey and Margaret Legge-Wilkinson.
