Hunters Hill’s music gala night looks set to bring a rare kind of sparkle to the Town Hall. On Saturday, 10 October 2026, Hunters Hill Music will present soprano Siobhan Stagg with pianist Jonathan Ware.
It is the kind of event that suits this part of Sydney. The room will feel close. The program will feel polished. And the music gala night will carry a sense of occasion without losing its local warmth.
Origins on Alexandra Street
The concert will centre on Origins, a program that moves between older works and newer voices. The line-up includes music by Hildegard von Bingen, Fauré, Mozart, Haydn, Sibelius and Brett Dean.
That mix should keep the evening vivid. It reaches across centuries, yet it still feels carefully shaped. The result is a recital that promises variety, contrast and a clear emotional thread.
Stagg brings a luminous soprano voice and a strong international career. Ware joins her as a sought-after collaborative pianist. Together, they will give the Town Hall a program made for listening closely.
Supper gives the night its local finish
The performance will run from 7pm to 8.30pm, with an interval. Then the evening will continue with supper from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.
That second act matters. It turns the concert into more than a recital. Guests will stay on at the venue for food and wine, with the supper curated by Simon Sandall and the Boronia Kitchen team. Savannah Estate wines will also be served.
That detail gives the music gala night a distinctly Hunters Hill feel. It is formal enough for a special outing, yet relaxed enough to invite conversation after the final note.
A ticketed evening with broad appeal
Tickets cost $85 for adults and $35 for students. The price includes supper and wines, which gives the event a neat all-in finish.
For local music lovers, it is a chance to hear two acclaimed artists in an intimate setting. For others, it offers a polished night out close to home.
Either way, the music gala night should land well in a suburb that values culture, community and a good venue used well. On this occasion, the Town Hall looks ready to do all three.
