On this last day of the Wunderkammer, Jon Rose is closing the doors of perception with a concert on the Fence. Originally a commission from Kronos string quartet and The Opera House, Jon created four fences as concert stage replacements for the real outback thing.

He also made a prototype, and this he kept; you can hear it in an extended set today.  Following that, he will lead a guided tour of the museum, communicating and explaining the various bizarre and unlikely stories that have become associated with the collection.

Concerts every Sunday of April from 2PM at Delmar Gallery. 
Free Admission.

On a Monday evening in late November 2017, two of Australia’s most prolific musicians performed together in the living room of the late Peggy Glanville-Hicks. It was the first-time violinist Jon Rose and pianist Chris Abrahams had collaborated in a duo setting. 

What they created that night has resulted in their forthcoming album Peggy, a raw and vivid unedited recording of that meeting. To celebrate its release, Rose and Abrahams will collaborate again at Foundry616 tonight.
