Finding Connie
 

A lost voice. A hidden voice. A woman ahead of her time.

Finding Connie is a 60-minute concert interwoven with storytelling, uncovering the life and songs of Connie Converse — a songwriter who disappeared without a trace in 1974.

Written through the 1950s, Connie’s folk-inspired songs were never released in her lifetime. After her disappearance, her recordings remained virtually unheard for more than 35 years. When they finally resurfaced, they revealed a body of work that was intimate, fearless, and astonishingly ahead of its time.

Presented by Mirabilis Collective as part of FRINGE WORLD Festival, this reimagined Fringe show features a stripped-back quintet and the luminous voice of Luce Nicholls, bringing Connie’s music into the light.

    Festooned with verbal foliage that has not desiccated over eight decades, Noel Coward’s Present Laughter is a present of much needed laughter leading up to the silly season.

    Festival of Death and Dying 2025
    The Festival of Death and Dying is not just a festival – it is a tender, artist-led act of remembering, and a deeply human invitation to witness ourselves, one another, and the stories that insist on being carried forward.

    Messiah (Original Dublin Version, 1742) | Pinchgut Opera
    Vivacious and virtuosic, Pinchgut Opera’s intimate rendition is rooted deeply in research and the practice of historical performance, yet unmistakably Sydney – unmistakably Australian – in its swift, vibrant, and exhilarating delivery.
