Exclusive to Festival Passholders.

1 musician and 1 listener meet for 10 minutes of music.

This musical encounter at unconventional concert venues is a surprise for both sides: artist, composer; the work(s) and instrument(s) are not revealed in advance. Wordless eye contact and the musician’s response in choosing musical works specifically for the listener in the ‘moment’ give the impulse for a uniquely personal concert and an intensive shared experience.

We conquer new terrain far from the concert hall through unusual venues - whether an Art gallery, cricket pitch, national park or cocktail bar – anywhere can be transformed into a stage. Initially a social project that boomed world-wide in the Pandemic raising money for out of work musicians, 1:1 CONCERTS Australia have been featured in 7 Australian cities. Last seen in Australia at the 2021 Adelaide Festival, curated by the Australian 1:1 CONCERTS Organiser Sally Walker in collaboration with the initiative’s German co-founders, the 1:1 CONCERTS series received five-star reviews and ran a series for women experiencing homelessness in addition to the main series. Sally returns to this endeared project, curating the series in Wagga.

Festival Passholders will receive additional information, including times and venues, shortly before the Festival commences.
