The ASQ features in Sunset: A Guided Experience as part of the Adelaide Festival’s Incredible Floridas: Chamber Landscapes program, curated by Kim Williams
Experience Sunset from the summit of the extraordinary Twin Peaks opposite the UKARIA Cultural Centre. Before drinks and canapés are served, you will be led to the peak of the mountain, stopping on occasion to be beguiled by the performers of the Incredible Floridas series, in music and poetry that speaks of place, time and the natural world.
SATURDAY
A quintessentially Australian experience: (Elder Conservatorium Director) Graeme Koehne’s String Quartet No.3, inspired by Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang, performed atop Mt. Barker’s Twin Peaks, accompanied by local birds, cicadas and the odd whinny from the pastures below.
