Featuring world-renowned artists Sally Wilson & Mark Kruger.

The Barwon Heads Arts Council is fundraising for a grand piano for the Barwon Heads Arts Hub.

Grand pianos are sought after by professional musicians for their rich, resonant sound and allow for the full gamut of musical expression as imagined by composers.

The grand piano will be available for use by local musicians and will be a drawcard to bring other high-profile performers to the Bellarine.

Join us in raising money to purchase an exquisite grand piano for our wonderful Bellarine community!

With international careers spanning decades, now-local artists – soprano, Sally Wilson and pianist, Mark Kruger – will thrill us in a concert spanning the heart-meltingly exquisite, wildly impressive to outrageously hilarious in song, aria and solo piano music.

Drinks will be available to purchase at the Arts Hub Bar and we will be serving light snacks.
