Piano Quartet Concert Fundraiser

Join us at the beautiful St John's Church on Halifax Street for a performance by the newly formed Nautilus Ensemble, who will play piano quartets in G minor of Mozart and Brahms. Profits will go toward Circle of Friends and Justice for Refugees SA.

The Nautilus Ensemble is a product of the present pandemic, for its members an entirely positive one. Damien, an Adelaide pianist, had been preparing these works of Mozart and Brahms for concerts with Melbourne colleagues, booked for Victorian venues; and Michael, Justin and Greg are all orchestral musicians in Adelaide who have been eager for an opportunity to share musical performance. Add to this sufficient relaxation of social restrictions and it was all we needed to give rise to something that we hope will long outlive the pandemic.

We're lucky to have a speaker with lived experience joining us. Numbers are limited due to adherence to strict COVID-19 regulations. Unfortunately that also means we are unable to serve refreshments. Please note if the event can no longer go ahead due to changing COVID-19 restrictions there will be full refunds.

Circle of Friends consists of a number of Circles (groups) that work in various ways to directly support people seeking asylum and refugees. They provide rent, food, bills and friendship to those who need it: https://cofa.org.au/
