Ali Barter, Alice Ivy, Olympia and many more will perform as part of The National Gallery of Victoria’s late-night concert series Friday Nights this year.
The NGV is about to launch its French Impressionism exhibition, featuring masterworks from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These include the works of Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt and others, 79 of which have never been shown in Australia.
Punters will have a chance to look at the art after-hours before watching one of the acts perform in the gallery’s Great Hall.
Also set to perform as part of the all-Melbourne lineup is Eilish Gilligan, Bananagun, Husky, Solomon Sisay, Squid Nebula, GL, Eternal Crush, and Akosia. Some will perform more than once.
