Chatswood Culture Bites is the name given to this year’s big cultural event. A feast of theatre, music, art exhibitions, and shows for people of all ages and backgrounds will take The Concourse by storm.
For this year’s diverse and innovative program, Willoughby City Council has decided to join forces with Candlelight, the renowned series of candlelit concerts, to offer three free live performances in the city’s most breathtaking setting.
The amazingly designed precinct of The Concourse will be awash in a magical sea of candles for three consecutive days in August starting at 6 p.m. Three one-of-a-kind concerts that you won’t want to miss!
Chatswood by Candlelight
The first concert takes place on August 17, featuring the acclaimed bass-baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes and the brilliant flutist Jane Rutter. Both will tribute popular and classical music from Mozart, Piaf, Bizet’s Carmen, and Les Miserables.
On the 18, Candlelight celebrates women with a concert dedicated to the divas of jazz and soul. The sultry CINTA Band will perform classics by Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, and Aretha Franklin for everyone to enjoy.
And last but not least, on the 19, the most memorable movie soundtracks will come to life by the string ensemble Ash Quartet. Compositions by Ludovico Einaudi, and more come together in a celebration of your favorite movies!
But that is not all! As part of this event, a stunning display of candle installations will adorn the path from Chatswood Station to The Concourse through the Chatswood Mall Market.
There’s a Candlelight concert all year ’round
Can’t go to these ones? Don’t worry because Candlelight has concerts all year around whether you’re a classical music fan or simply enjoy an evening of live music.
