Featuring an atmospheric lighting design by Alex Nguyen, custom cocktails paired to each program courtesy of Brogan’s Way Gin, and the exuberant cultural explorer and ABC Classic presenter Stéphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe as an orchestral tour guide, taking you through the ways musical magic is made. Don’t forget to stick around afterwards to meet our extraordinary musicians. Session 3 is an ode to dedication and transformation, conducted by renowned Norwegian conductor Eivind Aadland.
