WHAT

Friday 3 July - Civic Park
(Cnr King & Darby St, Newcastle)

Intermezzo Strings

The first of the five Winter Heat events will be at Newcastle’s iconic Civic Park and will feature the fountain bubbling furiously and then lighting up in flames. The fire fountain will be the centerpiece in a dance and theatre production with local and central coast fire twirlers and belly-dancers. There will be one show at 6:40pm and a repeat performance at 7:40pm.

For the rest of the evening between 6pm and 9pm, atmospheric entertainment by Intermezzo Strings will fill the Park with beautiful sounds while ambient light from candles, burning logs and fire sculptures filters through the night.

In 1995, talented friends from the Newcastle Conservatorium of Music formed Intermezzo String Quartet. http://www.intermezzostrings.com.au/
