Inventi plays The Nutcracker!

Experience the magic of Inventi Ensemble as they perform Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite like never before, arranged for a vibrant chamber ensemble. This concert delivers energetic classics like the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Waltz of the Flowers. With playful rhythms and festive charm, The Nutcracker is sure to captivate and entertain!

The performance will be held on Friday 12 December 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.

We have another packed events program coming in 2026 featuring some musical favourites returning to the library, including Inventi Ensemble, Ash Davies, Stella Anning, Flinders Quartet, and Ultrafox.

We're also excited to be welcoming some incredible new musicians to the Athenaeum such as Tulliah Goldsworthy, Wattleseed Ensemble, Connie Chamber, and Catherine McQuade.

As if that wasn't enough, we will also be hosting book launches and talks throughout the year, including the annual Gary Morgan oration in partnership with Melbourne Rare Book Week.
