Adelaide’s most intimate live music series takes over a heritage space in Gay’s Arcade for afternoon only, tucked between Adelaide Arcade and Twin Street in the heart of the CBD. Three original acts, up close and personal, beneath 5.2-metre ceilings on Baltic pine floorboards, in a setting you’d never expect.

Experience stripped-back live performances in an unconventional space; featuring neo-soul and jazz artist Kara Manansala, a WOMADelaide alumni, Elder Conservatorium graduate and Nexus Arts Interplay artist, alongside Adelaide’s very own Pop-R&B vocal trio OPULENCE, bringing contemporary 90s nostalgia with a harmonic twist. Rounding out the lineup is Zimbabwean-born Praise Mangena, weaving hypnotic movement, poetry and tranquil R&B fresh off her debut single ‘Maze’.

Concept Sessions transforms unexpected spaces into intimate performance venues, connecting audiences directly with emerging and established artists and bands, in a relaxed, daytime, all-ages setting; providing raw and authentic live music discovery in Adelaide’s CBD.

Strictly limited capacity. Tickets available now.
