Heaven for classical music fans

In the wake of rave reviews for his recent soloist performance with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at Sydney Town Hall, new Kiama resident Daniel Roehn and his wife, Kiama's own Ana de la Vega, have organised the first of a series of intimate performances at the Kiama Anglican Church.

Daniel is the third generation of Germany’s most distinguished violin family, and has built a career as an international soloist. Ana started her career as a flautist in the Kiama Primary School band and has since risen to build a spectacular international career, with hit recordings and performances at the world's leading concert halls.


Using Kiama as a base, the couple are keen to use their move to Kiama from Germany as an opportunity to share their music in a series of concerts in regional towns on the South Coast and Highlands.


"We love the idea of taking classical music to country towns, and making Kiama a focal point for music lovers," says Ana.


In this first concert they will play a program of music by Bach, Debussy, Shostakovich, Bizet, Kreisler, Brahms and Mozart, with brilliant young pianist Jeremy So.


The one hour concerts will be on Saturday 27 March at 5 pm and 7 pm; and Sunday 28 March at 2 pm.


The tickets are available now at the Tourism Office on Blowhole Point for $50 (concession $40).
