%20med%20sq.jpg)
This performance sees one of Australia’s most successful and respected singer/songwriters performing an intimate concert of songs drawn from his vast back catalogue of recordings. This is a chance to hear the acclaimed singer songwriter Lior in a manner harking back to archetypal ‘salon’ concerts; where both audience and performer share an evening enjoying the connection that only proximity can offer.
Lior burst on to the Australian music scene in 2005 with his stunning debut album - ‘Autumn Flow’. Recorded and released entirely independently, and spearheaded by ‘This Old Love’ and subsequent singles ‘Daniel’ and ‘Autumn Flow’, the album became one of the most successful independent debuts in Australian history.
A swag of accolades followed, amongst them three Aria nominations (including Best Male Artist), as well as Triple J’s prestigious ‘J Award’ nomination for Album of the Year. Subsequent releases ‘Corner of an Endless Road’, (2008) and ‘Tumbling into the Dawn’ (2010) were also a huge success, debuting at #2 on the Australian Albums chart and topping the Independent charts for several weeks, as well as earning the gifted songwriter a further three Aria nominations.
Lior is known for his dynamic and moving performances, and has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s finest live performers. He is part of a rare breed of artists that has achieved a great degree of success and critical acclaim, whilst maintaining an independence and individuality in their craft.
Don’t miss the chance to see him in this intimate solo show at one of Adelaide's best sounding venues.
Lior will be doing one set, no interval, no support.

Slava and Sharon Grigoryan with Kelly Menhennett - Hutt Street Centre Fundraising Concert
%20med%201.jpg)
SLAVA AND SHARON GRIGORYAN: The success of any collaboration is dependent on a myriad of factors, some obvious, others less tangible. Sharon & Slava Grigoryan are an example of such a synergy, resulting in music that connects deeply with the listener. Perhaps it is their union professionally and in life that provides the intangible factor fuelling their passionate and sensitive performances.
Their repertoire spans cultures, generations and genres – from standard works for guitar and cello (Vivaldi, Granados, Piazzolla) to creations by contemporary composers, their own compositions and arrangements which shine a new light on familiar favourites.
Slava Grigoryan is an acknowledged guitar master on the world stage. Sharon Grigoryan has forged a formidable career throughout Australia performing with all major symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, including her seven-year tenure with the Australian String Quartet.
Sharon & Slava Grigoryan’s debut album ‘Our Place’ (ABC) was nominated for Best Classical Album at the 2020 ARIA Awards.
The original program had Nancy Bates playing as well. Unfortunately (for us) Nancy Bates has had offers to spend some time working and performing in Europe during August/September so is unable to perform at this concert. She is sorry that she can't do it but we wish her the best in another significant step in her expanding career.
Replacing Nancy is Kelly Menhennett.
KELLY MENHENNETT: From red winemaker in the South Australian Riverland to award-winning Americana powerhouse, Kelly Menhennett commands the room with a voice of raw force and fury. Winner of the national Telstra Road to Discovery award, her spellbinding mix of alt-country, soul, and roots has seen her share stages with the likes of Archie Roach, CW Stoneking, and Tex Perkins, as well as trading songs with Paul Kelly at Nashville's iconic Bluebird Cafe. Her Nashville-recorded album Small Dreams (produced by Neilson Hubbard and featuring Carl Broemel of My Morning Jacket) reached the top three on the Rhythms Magazine charts. Armed with a sharp wit and immense magnetic charm, she is a consummate musical troubadour.

Sam Brittain & The Stowaways
Sam Brittain returns to Trinity Sessions with a brand new album entitled 'A Hell So Small' his 5th studio album to date; recently launched at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. So it's welcome back to Sam and his sensational band The Stowaways.
Following a failed attempt to capture the songs as envisioned, Sam threw the tapes in the bin and decided to produce this one himself. With the assistance of Wundenbergs studios to capture drums, Sam then spent 2 years recording what would become 'A Hell So Small' at home in his humble Wildflower Studios.
'There wasn't anything wrong with the original version of the record but it did not capture the energy and tonality I was seeking. So after much deliberation I had to trust myself to produce this one. I have produced for many other artists but always sought the guidance of outside producers when creating my own albums. On this record that changed and I am forever grateful to have made that hard choice.'
Featuring tracks like 'Hitchhiker' and 'Trap Door' that both earned glowing reviews from Rolling Stone Australia.
“Hitchhiker” serving as one of the most powerful and self-assured entries in his discography to date. An early contender for song of the year by way of the mesmerising “Trap Door” proving to us that it’s on track to be one of the year’s best releases.' ' - Rolling Stone AU
Lead by the third and final single 'Lighthouse', Sam delivered the album in its entirety on the first day of 2026.
A powerful collection of songs close to his heart, it's truly going to be a special evening of music brought to life on stage by some of SA's most talented musicians.
