Reimaginings – Reimagine the Baroque

After our sell-out performance in late 2018 Arafura Music Collective and PeeWees at the Point once more collaborate to bring a new chamber music program to Darwin audiences.

Under the creative direction of Sydney musician Jenny Eriksson, Arafura Collective presents “Re- Imaginings” an innovative performance which weaves together a program featuring the formal beauty of baroque music of composers Couperin, Geminiani, Marais and Telemann with other compositions and composers influenced by the Baroque. These "reinventions" encompass a range of styles including folk, jazz and even a bit of rock!

Who will love this event? Anyone who seeks a definitive Darwin cultural experience! Spend your Sunday afternoon in the Wet relaxing and listening to live music, enjoying a glass of fine wine or cool drink and fine food, in an exquisite air-conditioned venue, with amazing views of the Darwin harbour. Children welcome!

Our guest artist Jenny Eriksson.
