Sunset Series Returns to St Leonards Park

North Sydney Council 2 mins read

Across three Autumn afternoons an incredible line-up of musicians will perform at the free, outdoor event, offering an exciting mix of classical, swing, jazz and indie sounds for the whole family to enjoy – all completely free.

Sunset Series stands out for its unique combination of high-quality live music, interactive children’s activities and a relaxed outdoor setting.

Starting on Sunday 15 March, locals and visitors are invited to bring a picnic rug to the park and stretch out on the grass, ready for the music to start at 3pm.

Event Schedule

Each event runs from 3pm-6pm.

Sunday 15 March – A jazzy afternoon

To kick off the series, renowned jazz group The Pocket Trio will perform with featured artists Monica Trapaga, Kate Wadey, Tilly Street and Edo Santini. They’ll be supported by Feel The Manouche, a group known for their gypsy jazz music with an Australian twist.

Sunday 12 April – Time to dance!

The Hot Potato Band will excite audiences with their unique high-energy performance, featuring all your favourite brass beats from trumpets, saxophones, trombones and more. They’ll follow openers, the exciting and local, The Young Guns.

Sunday 17 May – A symphonic sunset

The afternoon will begin with multi-genre song woman Dyagula, before North Sydney Symphony Orchestra take to the stage. The return of the North Sydney Symphony Orchestra is a particular highlight, promising a dynamic performance that goes beyond classical music.

Beyond the music, families can enjoy a range of interactive experiences. From face painting to roving entertainment, different activities will be curated for each date. A few delicious options of food & beverage will also be available.

Mayor Zoë Baker said Sunset Series is yet another way North Sydney’s stunning public spaces can be used for the community to come together through culture and creativity.  

“Sunset Series brings together mix of talented artists, community groups and local food to create a welcoming, inclusive, family-friendly environment for everyone to enjoy. The events are a great example of activating beautiful public spaces to bring people together, support local creatives and enhance community wellbeing.

“Accessible open spaces and live music play an important role in fostering social connection and it’s through events like these that Council supports a strong sense of community in North Sydney.”
