📣 JUST ANNOUNCED On the Terrace 2026 Program 📣
We’re celebrating 10 years of Chamber Music Adelaide’s flagship festival with our biggest program yet - featuring more than 100 musicians presenting an incredible 55 performances throughout the iconic spaces of North Terrace.
Join us on Sunday 1 November, 11am - 4pm for a free mini-festival of pop-up performances across Adelaide's cultural precinct. Come for a single performance, spend the day exploring the program, or simply wander and see what you discover.
This year’s program features:
🟡 From Dawn to Dusk - commissioned to mark the 10th anniversary, a new work by South Australian composer Hilary Kleinig traces the day’s passing, following the path of Karrawirra Parri (the River Torrens), with a momentous finale bringing together two ensembles and Poco Tutti.
🟡 Sing Sanctus - the much-anticipated premiere of Jodie O’Regan’s final movement of ‘Leviathan', performed by Sally-Anne Russell, Clara Cutri and Adelaide Baroque.
🟡 CASM x 4EPQ, bringing contemporary songwriting and string quartet together in a new collaboration.
🟡 Recitals Australia’s emerging chamber musicians, plus a showcase of the next generation of SA music talent in a program presented by students of Adelaide University's Elder Conservatorium.
🟡 Experimental sound from Duo Kosma, Art Song from Fiona McArdle and Magpie Artsong, colourful works from Opal Guitar Quartet, roving horn trio Cornucopia...and much more, in a program designed to welcome audiences of all ages!
And the best part? It’s completely FREE. No bookings required.
