As the festival’s only venue combining a selection of themed artistic events, 72 Erskine brings a splash of colour, light, music and art into your life by showcasing the unique and diverse nature of our venue.
For the first time, 72 Erskine’s current three Artists in Residence (AIR) - Mary-Anne Kyriakou (lighting designer, composer and director of Smart Light Sydney), Cherie Valaray (coloratura soprano) and Emanuel Schmidt (jazz guitarist and composer) will present an evening of surprising collaborations, while engaging other talents in interdisciplinary explorations during a number of premiere performances.
The 72 Erskine Spectrum Series will include an interactive light installation, themed art exhibition, jazz, poetry, classical and contemporary music evenings, to name just a few.
