Events and Concert Information

Since their beginning, over 15 years ago, ELDERHALL lunchtimes, has become one of Adelaide’s most highly regarded and much loved series of concerts.

Each Friday of the university semester, Elder Hall on North Terrace presents a concert between 1.10 - 2pm. A wonderfully rich mix of music is performed from Baroque to Jazz with everything in between featuring vocal, instrumental, chamber and symphonic music.

The series is a great showcase for students and staff from the Elder Conservatorium of Music as well as local, national and international musicians of the highest calibre. Graduates who now perform in orchestras worldwide or who have solo careers, enjoy returning to perform in the rich and resonant acoustic of historic Elder Hall.

The popular lunch hour time-slot also gives people a chance to take a special break during a busy working day, or meet a friend to share in the wonderful music making. Admission prices have been kept to a minimum (just $6) to ensure all can enjoy these concerts that have become a real Friday tradition in Adelaide.

At long last, the eagerly awaited evening series - ELDERHALL evenings - returns. A dazzling array of concerts will showcase the musicians and ensembles of the Elder Conservatorium of Music at their very finest.

Concerts begin on 9 June with the rich string sounds of the Elder Conservatorium Chamber Orchestra in a program called Resonance. In August the jazz classic Sketches of Spain features New York trumpeter Ray Vega. Three Choirs at St Peters is a joint production between the Elder Conservatorium and St Peters Cathedral, which will see all three Conservatorium choirs performing a program of glorious sacred works. 

In October's Connections, the Elder Conservatorium Wind Orchestra perform works by Grainger and Bennet, with the ASO's Shane Hooton as Soloist. The Chamber Ensemble join forces with the Elder Conservatorium Chorale to perform a semi-staged version of Dido and Aenas in November, before the series comes to an extraordinary climax with Sibelius's Second Symphony in Finale
