EMERGING CONCERT ARTIST SERIES

Exceptional Young Artists Sharing the Joy of Music

A program rich with favourite composers from the polyphony of J.S. Bach and classical charm of J. Haydn through to the romantic voices of F. Chopin, A. Scriabin and I. Albeniz; and moving forward into the twentieth-century with C. Debussy & S. Rachmaninov.

Xingyao (Elsa) Lee, 13, studies in the Rising Stars program at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where she studies with Natalia Ricci. In 2023, Elsa participated in the Sydney International Piano Competition Showcase. She has also been successful in national and international competitions in recent years. We are delighted to welcome back; she performed in our first ECAS in 2022. Elsa performs works by: J. Haydn, F. Chopin, J.S.Bach, P. Constantinescu, L.van Beethoven, Cécile Chaminade.

Lucas Wang is a student of Natalia Ricci, also studying in the Rising Stars program. He is the recipient of the Kathleen Holmes McCrea Pianoforte Scholarship. Lucas has enjoyed success on numerous occasions in the Sydney and Inner West Eisteddfods. Lucas has also busked on the streets playing the Hulusi, aChinese wind instrument. Lucas performs works by: J.S. Bach, Scriabin, I. Albeniz, encore: Rachmaninoff

EMERGING CONCERT ARTISTS

Musicians are storytellers, and music is their language. Join us on the first Thursday of each month for a memorable musical experience with some of Australia's leading young performers. Wollongong Art Gallery hosts the concert as part of its Public Program. Visit the Gallery and view their latest exhibitions and hear a concert! Entry is by donation.

We pay our respect to the Traditional Custodians, their Ancestors who cared for this Country for many thousands of years, and their Elders and descendants who continue to care for the Country. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Sharing the Joy of Music in the Community

InspireMusicAust is a not-for-profit that nurtures emerging classical, jazz, and world musicians by creating performance opportunities in the community. InspireMusicAust is committed to increasing accessibility to classical, jazz and world music within the community. Our concerts are often scheduled at a time of day, making them available for those who find concerts at night difficult. We partner with venues to provide accessible programs to all within the community, regardless of their economic situation. To facilitate this, many of our concerts are entry by donation. However, we strongly encourage those who can donate to do so generously to help support our commitment to paying performers following the Musicians Union of Australia and awards.

Currently, our major program is the EMERGING CONCERT ARTISTS SERIES, which features outstanding young performers under 26. The musicians are given the freedom to curate, present, and perform a program in multiple venues, which helps create a performance progression path for emerging artists. In some concerts, the emerging artists work with established performers; in others, they pair up together. Other concerts we run include the annual MUSIC FOR MEDICINE concert, which features emerging artists in performance with a leading Australian artist at Wollongong Town Hal, with all profits going to a charity committed to the health and well-being of those in need. We also run CONCERTS ACROSS THE LAWN: A Musical Experience in Nature. As young artists progress, we offer to help them set up concerts involving a paid entry in different locations.
