KiLN Classics - beautiful music in a unique setting


Outlined in previous posts is KiLN's commitment to expanding the cultural opportunities available in Brisbane. Our new program KiLN Classics is a testimony to this, as we open up classical string music to audiences who otherwise may not engage with this style of music. The Brisbane Chamber Collective is coming to perform in our space on the first Sunday of each month, starting from the 7th of July.

Tickets to the event are really reasonably priced at $25 and this price includes drinks and nibbles. We will also have an artist talk before the performance about the exhibition that is in the gallery at the time. We hope that younger audiences will now come and see classical music in a less threatening environment than the big state venues, and also that those who don't have the pennies to spend $60-$70 on a concert ticket can afford a $25 ticket to come along to the KiLN Classics series.

Please give us a ring on 3876 6903 to reserve your ticket, or email us on info@kiln.com.au .

Making creative places


An extension of my work here as a curator and gallery assistant at KILN is my acute interest in the culture of cities, and how this is created. This interest has led me to do some work with the group Brisculture who are presenting an event next Tuesday (26 May) as part of the 2009 Citysmart Innovation Festival. The discussion at this event will centre around the idea of how creative cities develop and how we can support their growth and development.

This is of great interest to KILN as through our showcasing of fine art, fine craft and now music (update soon!) we hope to enhance the cultural wealth of Brisbane and support the creative growth of this city by offering opportunities for artists to show their work and art lovers to view this work.

For more information about this event check out www.brisculture.com.au

Warmest,
