One of our program highlights at Orange Regional Gallery over the past year has been the Music in Colour series.

This collaboration between Friends of Orange Regional Gallery, Orange Regional Conservatorium, and Orange Regional Gallery consists of a series of concerts held in the gallery that link art and music in new and engaging ways. Audiences have expressed how much they enjoyed the previous musical responses to our exhibitions.

This year’s spring performance will take place at 6pm on Thursday, November 13, at the gallery. The team at Orange Regional Conservatorium, led by Innovation Officer & Head of Strings Stephanie Li, is developing a fascinating selection of pieces that creatively respond to the Wynne Prize, Australia’s oldest art prize from the Art Gallery of NSW with a focus on landscape painting and sculpture.

Stephanie says of the upcoming performance:

“This concert program is inspired by the spirit of our Australian landscapes — from volcanoes and mountain ranges, to vast horizons and bushfire, to our shimmering golden beaches and moody rainforests. The music reflects on connection to place, resilience, and belonging, and will feature pieces inspired by First Nations themes alongside contemporary chamber music written by Australian composers. This intimate performance invites listeners to experience the Australian environment in sound: its textures, its stories, and its enduring presence.”

This is a fundraising event and all proceeds go towards acquisitions for Orange Regional Gallery’s permanent collection. The series has been proudly supported by Orange Regional Arts Foundation.

Bookings are essential through Orange Regional Gallery’s website or at reception. Tickets cost $60pp + booking fees and include refreshments.
