Music at McClelland is back with sonic sculptural splendour in 2025.

Showcasing the astonishing talents of brilliant genre-bridging musicians, up close and personal, overlooking the magical bushland setting of the sculpture park. With every show different from the last, you’ll be satiated by a degustation of melodious morsels - from ancient to right now, from anthemic favourites to cutting-edge creativity - in a joyous celebration of scintillating sounds.

Music at McClelland 2025 will be held on the third Sunday of the month, 2.30pm to 4pm, from February to November (April will be the fourth Sunday due to Easter)

Acclaimed Australian composer/lyricist and pianist Monique diMattina presents concert highlights from her new stage musical, STELLA: The Miles Franklin Story.

Monique will be joined by two of STELLA’s star cast members for this intimate McClelland preview, before the musical debuts in theatres later in 2025.

Although the Miles Franklin Award is Australia’s most prestigious literary prize, most Australians are unaware that Miles was a woman, let alone the details of her extraordinary life. Weaving songs, stories and Franklin’s own words, STELLA follows Franklin’s Snowy Mountains childhood to fame as the young author of My Brilliant Career, years battling for women’s suffrage in the USA and UK, WWI field work, creative struggles and legacy as a trailblazing champion of Australian art, conservation and culture.
