February was THE
month for music!
St Jerome’s Laneway
Festival
The hugely successful Laneway
Festival in the Port this year drew a
crowd of 8000 through the gates. It’s
undeniably become a hot ticket on
the music festival calendar and this
year didn’t disappoint. Ticket sales
have doubled in the three years it’s
been held at Port Adelaide.
Mayor Gary Johanson got into the
swing of things early by starting the
day on Triple J’s brekky program
spruiking Laneway at the Port.
Adelaide Symphony
Orchestra
A change of pace – but no less
impressive. On February 24, Kilburn
Community Centre was treated
to a performance by a special 8
person ensemble from the Adelaide
Symphony Orchestra. The lunchtime-
time free concert drew a crowd
of around 300 people – including
children from local schools, older
citizens and multi-cultural community
groups. For one spell-binding
hour the musicians played to a
captivated audience – and spent time
education the crowd about their
music, and instruments. It was the
first experience of live orchestral
music for many, and one that surely
won’t be forgotten. It was part of a
‘concert tour’ being conducted by the
ASO through suburbs of Adelaide.
Council would like to congratulate
Community Development Officer,
Christine Loveday, who runs the
Kilburn Community Centre and
worked tirelessly to promote
the event.
Weaving
Workshops at
Kilburn
A series of workshops by weavers
from different cultural backgrounds
and traditions will be run at Kilburn

2016. There will be Ngarrindjeri,
Tongan and contemporary weavers

many different cultures. Bookings are
