They will come together for the first time in February and then again in August immediately prior to the opening of the Cultural Centre. Their combined wisdom will help us create a dynamic, vibrant centre of artistic excellence.
Andrew Goodwin and Daniel de Borah
Last month Andrew Goodwin and Daniel de Borah displayed extraordinary musicianship in their exquisite recital of German lieder and Russian songs. Having met in St Petersburg where they both completed advanced studies, their performance drew on the full range of emotions and showed the true power of the human voice. Their performance inspired this response from Emma Wu, a vocal student at the Elder Conservatorium of Music.
‘I drove to Mt Barker with Fritz Wunderlich’s singing of the same cycle and I was really surprised when I heard Andrew sing because his tone was so close to Wunderlich’s. It was such a pleasure to listen to two highly educated and cultured musicians – they both enjoyed themselves and the team work was fabulous’.
This month we take you to Paris for an
afternoon soiree with the Elysium Ensemble on Sunday 28 September at 3 pm.
Performing on period instruments, Lucinda Moon (baroque violin) and Greg
Dikmans (baroque flute) will be joined by Hilary Kleinig (cello) and Glenys
March (harpsichord).
Greg and Lucinda have been working together for over 25 years. In this time they have developed a fruitful collaboration built around an approach to historically informed performance that is characterised by careful scholarship combined with subtle, tasteful and, above all, unpretentious musicianship. We greatly appreciate the support of Knightsbridge Wealth Management who have made this concert possible through their generous sponsorship.

Winnie Pelz, a celebrated artist and experienced gardener is our designer. As the building progresses so too does the garden starting with this gently cascading water feature. Nestled among the gums, you can imagine how beautiful it will look when it is fully planted and the water is flowing.
We expect there will be a lot of interest in this concert, so we suggest you book your tickets as soon as they go on line.
We're looking forward to seeing many Ngeringa Arts concertgoers on Sunday, 28 September for Pizza Sunday! There are still places available for lunch so if you would like to book, please contact us directly at the Cellar Door and be sure to let us know that you'll be attending the concert to enjoy our special Ngeringa Arts offer: $25 per person for a starter of NGERINGA olives, olive oil and crusty sourdough bread to share, a pizza of your choice and a tea or coffee to finish.With the glorious spring weather come changes at NGERINGA! Our biggest and happiest change of late has been the arrival of our third beautiful boy. Lachlan Rowan made his appearance on July 1st and has rapidly stamped his mark by insisting on some significant amendments to our schedule. With this in mind, we have decided to alter our Cellar Door hours to concentrate on those opportunities that let us best develop relationships with depth. Our new opening hours are our end-of-month Pizza Sundays, SOLSTICE Wine Club events, Adelaide Hills annual regional events (Crush & Winter Reds) and private group bookings. We are open at all other times by appointment only. We are looking forward to this new schedule as an improved chance to get to know our customers and are eager to see you at the Cellar Door! To make a booking for a Pizza Sunday, a private tasting or a group event ring 8398 2867 or email [email protected]
