Season XVIII reflects Phoenix’s sustained devotion to foregrounding independent artistry from a slew of Australian music cultures.

Our eighteenth season also marks a number of landmark achievements, including our 300th distinct presentation to date and over 50,000 attendees to our intimate capacity performances.

New performances announced at The Church, a meticulously restored 19th-century Gothic church in Alexandria owned by Judith Neilson AM that houses rehearsals and work development for musicians by invitation.

Composed, directed and produced by Callum Mintzis, this performance is a multimedia adaption of his new album, And the Wind was my Dear Friend, Once Again. Featuring movement-artist MaggZ, electronic artist Tilman Robinson and string quartet (Madeleine Jevons, Georgia Cartlidge, Dana Lee & Jack Ward), the work reflects a longtime interest in the process of connection, and the notion of accepting that which we repress, judge, and push away.
