Coolangubra
With three of Australia's finest musicians, Coolangubra represents expressive and sublime music - music that extols the heart, emotive power, and beauty of the landscapes and country from which these musicians take their inspiration. With Cleis Pearce on violin, Greg Sheehan on percussion, and Steve Berry on guitar, Coolangubra is an acoustic instrumental trio that explores a style entirely its own.
Mr Percival (aka Darren Percival) is more than a singer; he is a Vocalite.
Armed with a couple of mics and the looping pedals Mr Percival takes the audience through many lands, vocal styles, stories, indigenous sound-scapes, grooves and into outer space. With one of the most incredible voices in the world, you too can find out why audiences flock to see Mr Percival.

6.30-9pm
Vijaya Visvanathan (Carnatic Vocal)
Shen Flindell (Tabla)
Rahim Zullah (Harmonium)
Tanpura Players
This is an important Major North Indian Hindustani Concert by one of India's finest exponents in the tradition. Rakaji will sing classical and semi- classical forms e.g. Kheyal, Thumri, Dadra and Bhajan. Indian classical music being improvisation based has always stressed on individual artist. But the interplay between artists is also very interesting, given that one would not know what to expect. It is most exciting therefore to hear Rakaji in the second half of the concert perform a Ragamalika Jugalbandi (duet) with Vijaya Visvanathan . Both musicians will provide an integrated presentation of their two systems of music (Hindustani and Carnatic) highlighting
the innate nuances of corresponding melodies and ragas.
$20 Family Ticket (2 people - husb/wife + children under 13 years)

Raka Mukherjee - One of India's foremost Classical musician having undergone rigorous years of training by highly esteemed masters of music.
She has a melodious voice, of wide range and power. Clear vision of ragas,and ability to portray them vividly in all their many splendoured details. Farflung flights of musical imagination, lending a special dimension to elaborations and improvisations. A wealth of widely varying expressions, packed with emotion and sentiment but moving always within the boundaries of the discipline and
restraint demanded by our Indian Classical music. A sparkling combination of all the above traits is Raka Mukherjee who has carved out a niche for herself in the musical world, at home and abroad.
Raka is equally adept in all classical and semi- classical forms,e.g. Kheyal, Thumri, Dadra and Bhajan. She especially enjoys creating a devotional spiritual mood in her song. Mastering melody with magical effect she creates a sense of yearning and longing that personally touches the hearts of her western and indian audiences alike.
It is small wonder that such a musician would be hailed by connoisseurs and critics' alike. This is amply reflected in a few excerpts from the many rave reviews she has received.
