Leeuwin Concert Series 2009 Information
In 2008 Leeuwin Estate presented Yvonne Kenny, David Hobson and The West Australian Symphony Orchestra to a music loving crowd.
Watch this space for the announcement of who will perform in 2009!
The tradition of the Leeuwin Concerts began in 1985 when Leeuwin Estate provided financial support for the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s tour to Australia. As part of the visit the Orchestra performed in this unique vineyard setting, thereby launching what was to become an institution – the annual “Leeuwin Concert Series”.
Described as the most extraordinary concerts ever held in Australia, they now enjoy a 22 year history and have featured an eclectic mix of the world’s finest musicians and entertainers including international orchestras, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Bryn Terfel and Sting.
A highlight in Australia’s social and cultural calendar, visitors make the annual pilgrimage to the Leeuwin attired in anything from top hats to tee shirts to picnic on the sprawling winery lawns.
As the sun sets over a majestic backdrop of karri forest and music fills the natural amphitheatre, Leeuwin’s famous kookaburras commence their cacking chorus to the amusement of guests and entertainers alike.
