Recitals Australia is a non profit organization providing performance opportunities for talented musicians. The society is unique in its ability to provide an unequalled opportunity for students to obtain a concert platform using world class instruments without financial burden.

Recitals Australia plays a unique role in the musical life of Adelaide, by providing over 100 performance opportunities for artists of all ages and levels. The youngest are able to participate in Home Recitals; more experienced and semi-professional artists, and professionals seeking additional opportunities, are included in the Lunch Hour Series each Wednesday.

Lunch Hour Concerts

Each year Recitals Australia presents a spring series and autumn series of concerts held at lunch time. These recitals showcase a range of performers presenting a 40 minute recital at 12.10pm and 1.10pm each Wednesday. From the experienced to the new performers, these quality concerts offer over 80 high calibre musicians a year, the opportunity to hone their performance skills by presenting polished programsin a public recital venue.

Audiences have delighted for years in the high quality and low cost of these recitals, and many now professional musicians received their first performance opportunity through these concerts.

All performers are auditioned through the Home Recitals Concerts. After successfully performing in this smaller platform performers may be invited to perform in the Lunch Hour Series. Siobhan gave a Home Recital when she was 13. The following day she was asked to perform her first Lunch Hour Concert.

The Lunch Hour Concerts are held in the beautiful Pilgrim Church in Flinders Street, Adelaide. No microphones are used for amplification. The concerts are recorded by Radio Adelaide and 5MBS Radio for later broadcast.
