Conversessions

Music

SA Premiere

These aren't just concert performances. They're mostly gig, and part conversation. Hence the name. What you'll be coming to is a musical get-to-know-us experience. Each session will have singing, interaction, standing-around-chatting, imbibing, and each one will be completely different. Come and share a drink with The Idea of North after the singing bit is over (not literally, everyone will have their own glass). There will be a whole raft of music Adelaide hasn't yet heard, performed by Australia's best-loved a cappella quintet, featuring the super-human mouth drumming talents of Kai Kitamura, all the way from Tokyo.

"Audiences have been treated to the vocal play of world-class a cappella outfit The Idea of North on many occasions over the years, but never quite like this" The Advertiser.

Presented by: The Idea of North

The Idea of North is a quintet of musicians, serious about their music without taking themselves too seriously.

“One was again struck by not just the versatility and technical mastery of this group, but the fact that they were simply having fun. And fun, especially when so well-crafted, is contagious.” William Peterson, The Conversation

Along with the incredible Kai Kitamura on vocal percussion, Australia's most highly awarded and best loved contemporary a cappella group retains its beautifully distinct sound and style, and explore many musical genres to great effect - exactly what you see and hear at a concert is difficult to describe, but we're certain it will stay with you for a long time (for all the right reasons).
