Barangaroo Reserve

Looking for affordable winter entertainment? We’ve got you. From Thursday, June 26 until Saturday, July 19, Barangaroo’s architecturally spectacular Pier Pavilion is playing host to a series of magical alfresco concerts, and they’re totally free to attend. Curated by Musica Viva Australia, Nocturne will comprise a series of transporting soundscapes – brought to life under the stars by talented Sydney instrumentalists.Running every Thursday to Sunday from 6.30pm to 8.30pm, the free shows are the perfect pre-, post- or mid-date experience – with stunning contemporary chamber music and classical interpretations of modern songs performed in the open air by artists including Trio Histoire, Continuum Sax, Alma Moodie Quartet and The Song Company.  Just steps away from Barangaroo metro station, Pier Pavilion is easy to reach from around the city. If you’d rather stay in the area, Barangaroo is home to some excellent restaurants (A’mare and Anason, to name a few), and some of the most charming old-world bars in Sydney (including Henry Deane and The Lord Nelson) are within easy walking distance.
