Snow Concert Hall has announced its 2026 season, featuring a lineup of international artists and Australian talent. The season will present a mix of vocal, chamber and symphonic performances that aim to appeal to a broad audience.

“We aim to be a centre of musical excellence, where world-class artistry meets a meaningful and inspiring audience experience,” said Artistic Director Ana de la Vega. “This season brings together global icons and homegrown stars in performances that will resonate deeply with audiences of all kinds.”

Returning to Australia after its 2024 national tour, The King’s Singers open Snow’s season in March. The acclaimed British vocal ensemble (recipient of Limelight’s June 2023 Recording of the Month for the release Tom + Will) performs a diverse program ranging from Renaissance choral works to arrangements of pop hits from the likes of The Beach Boys, Billy Joel and The Beatles.

Following their five-star stint as soloists in Opera Australia’s Mozart Requiem, soprano Jane Ede and mezzo-soprano Helen Sherman will perform in an Opera Gala in May, with a program that features some of opera’s most-loved duets and arias.

Chamber music takes the stage in August with the Sitkovetsky Piano Trio, founded at the Yehudi Menuhin School. Comprising British violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky (wielding the “Parera” Stradivarius violin), German-Korean cellist Isang Enders and Chinese pianist Wu Qian, the trio’s program includes works by Shostakovich and Chaminade alongside Beethoven’s Ghost Trio.

Off the back of their residency with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo in its 2024–25 season, Dutch pianist brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen also arrive in Canberra in August, bringing with them a program of works by Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Stravinsky.

Blowing in with the September spring is the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and conductor Benjamin Northey with a dance-inspired program, before the season concludes in October with a solo recital by Australian pianist Piers Lane, featuring a selection of Chopin’s Nocturnes.
