This opening event, curated by ARIA Award-winning pianist and composer Barney McAll, is presented in conjunction withAPRA and the National Live Music Office.
Meanwhile, some 46 partner venues will be packed out with Fringe events for the remainder of the month, with highlights including music gigs by Tina Harrod and Damien Wright, theatre piecesAtlantis,Queen CxntandCrave, cabaretLady Sings It Better, Melbourne City Ballet’sRomeo + Julietand a sprawling Sydney Fringe Comedy program at the Factory Theatre.
It all comes to a close on Saturday September 24 with a silent dinner party at Paddington Town Hall, and the Global Rhythms event in Glebe’s Bicentennial Park on Sunday September 25.
