Music and Storytelling

Evocative and enchanting, The Village Square is a captivating combination of live music performance and storytelling.

Set in an imagined town some years ago (as all good fairy tales are), The Village Square presents stories of love and loss, misfortune and mirth, the graceful and grotesque.

Featuring renowned cellist Zoe Knighton, guitarist/composer Robbie Melville, and the charismatic and much-loved Richard Piper as The Narrator, the memoirs sparkle with the magic of traditional mythology.

Travelling through environments of contemporary classical, folk and jazz, Knighton and Melville weave disparate elements into a unified world.

The performance will be held on Friday 12 September with doors opening at 5:40pm for a 6:00pm performance. This event is free for members and $20 for non-members. Bookings can be made through Trybooking using this link.
