Accordions! An ORCHESTRA of Accordions! Playing at Classic Jam, Melbourne! What? Free, you say? Inconceivable…
Oh but it’s true! Come join us on Sunday 20th September from 3-5pm at the Rainbow Hotel, Fitzroy for an extravaganza not to be missed. Classical musicians of the unconventional variety joining forces with an Orchestra of Accordions. No cost, no fuss, just amazing, crazy music.
Things are getting edgy in the world of chamber music! Next jam at the Rainbow is a Post-1900s theme. That means hitch the skirt, cut the hair and leave the Mozart at the door. Come join us Sunday 16th August from 3-5pm at the Rainbow Hotel for an exciting un-classical jam. Donations go straight to the Australian Children’s Music Foundation. Post-1900s dress optional.
Welcome all races, nationalities, cultures, religions, aliens, cats, rats and pigeons. Come check out some of Melbourne’s top young Indie… I mean Classical musicians, served straight with your beer. Fresh on the 19th July 3-5pm at the glorious Rainbow Hotel, Fitzroy (27 St David Street). Of course, it’s free.
Expect to shed that winter skin with the warm sounds that emanate from these curious instrumental combinations. The musicians are friendly too - buy them a beer and they might tell you more about their ambiguous lives.
See you there!
Imagine this.
A warm, cozy pub on a chilly sunday afternoon. A dreamy, creamy, delicious live string quartet. A smooth glass of something you love. A lot of love.
And that’s just the beginning.
Come on down to the Rainbow Hotel this Sunday June 21st, 3-5pm for the latest installment of Classic Jam. It’s free to listen, and donations help the country’s children to get music lessons.
A whirlwind performance of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 7… in a Pub!
Some of Australia’s hottest musicians come together for a one-off performance of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, in the iconic Melbourne pub, the Rainbow Hotel.
Led by formidable young violinist Kristian Winther, the free 45-minute show will be staged at the Rainbow Hotel in Fitzroy, on Tuesday 2nd June at 7:30pm.
Kristian Winther, one of Australia’s most talented and versatile violinist, conductor and composer, has performed as soloist with the Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania Symphony Orchestras, and alongside revered musicians Richard Tognetti, Brett Dean and Caroline Henbest. He joins an astonishing list of more than 15 of Melbourne’s elite musicians including Cameron Hill, Blair Harris, Richard Vaudrey and Melbourne Symphony musicians Geoff “The Viking” Lierse and Steve Newton. The musicians are all donating their time, and ‘pay-what-you-feel’ audience contributions will be collected in support of the Australian Children’s Music Foundation.
This performance is proudly supported by A is for Atlas - a diverse not-for-profit company developing innovative creative outcomes through inter-arts collaboration.

Thank you to all who made Sunday’s jam such a roaring success! At one point we had 8 string players squished onto the little stage ripping through Dvorak, Brahms, Glass, Martinu… A wild duet for bassoons and beer, woodwind quintet (with two flutes instead of oboe… a preferable combination if you ask me) and plenty of delicious Mozart to go round. According to reports, we converted a vast number or plebeians young and old who were surprised and delighted to hear such music in a pub. We also raised a lovely pot of money for the Australian Children’s Music Foundation.
I very much look forward to seeing you at the next Classic Jam. Details to be revealed shortly… hold on to your seats!
