ABOUT
Sacred Resonance
Sacred Resonance emerge from the rich tradition of sound healing, drawing deeply from the work of visionary artists like Iasos, Steven Halpern, Vangelis, Alice Coltrane, Ravi Shankar, Andrew Forrest, and the teachings of Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak. Their music is a convergence of ambient electronica and ancient spiritual wisdom—textured, luminous, and intentionally meditative. Each composition explores subtle harmonic overtones and rhythmic spaces that evoke heightened states of awareness.
Collectif:Arc en Ciel
In an increasingly noisy world, Collectif: Arc en Ciel offers true tranquility: improvised music, created live and in harmony with nature. Beyond simply making music, the goal of this unique group is to provide a focused space for deep listening and gentle renewal of the senses, inspiring innovation, creativity and much-needed calm.
Make Music Day is a city-wide celebration of Adelaide’s talented and diverse local music scenes and cultures and supporters of music. On Saturday 20 June from 11am to midnight, 40 venues across the Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide open their doors for all to join in the fun of this FREE winter music festival. Make Music Day really is for everyone!
Part of a global movement that began in France as Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day celebrates the creativity, diversity, colour, and energy that define the city as a UNESCO City of Music.
Building on the success of 2025, this year’s carefully curated program showcases both iconic city music venues and unexpected locations. More than 360 individual artists in 107 acts from solo performers and bands to choirs and community groups will transform venues, cafes, bars, galleries, bookstores and public spaces into live performance stages and dance floors.
Check out both our daytime program 11am to 6pm and nighttime program 6pm to midnight to tailor your own Make Music Day trail of discovery. For the full program including accessibility information, go to Experience Adelaide | Make Music Day and start planning your route!
