In 2026, the Adelaide Baroque Quartet returns to Ondeen with Enlightened Strings: Quartets in the Age of Enlightenment. Emerging in the Classical era and perfected by Haydn, the string quartet is an intimate and highly refined art form, a musical conversation reflecting the Enlightenment’s ideals of balance, structure, and clarity.

With its beautiful acoustics and atmospheric setting, Ondeen is a natural home for this performance, and we are thrilled to host Adelaide Baroque again after a series of sell out performances throughout 2025.

Adelaide Baroque will begin at 5:30pm. Join us in the garden beforehand for a pre performance drink. For those wishing to stay on, a short Chef’s Harvest menu will be available in the evening✨

Wonderful to have full audiences for our concerts of Handel’s Messiah over the weekend. Inspiring performances from Adelaide Baroque, the St Peter’s Cathedral Consort and a team of spectacular soloists, lifting people’s hearts towards Christmas.

Thank you to the St Peter's Cathedral Music Foundation for presenting these concerts; to all who work so hard to make them possible, and to our Director of Music Anthony Hunt.
