CANCELLED: Celebrating Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, legendary Dutch-Australian master pianist Gerard Willems AM opens the season with select movements from Beethoven’s Moonlight and Appassionata Sonatas.

Joined by Artistic Director flutist Jane Rutter, the duo revisit their early success as the first classical musicians in Australia to enter the pop charts with pieces by Chopin and Debussy.

Dear Live at Lunch audiences, friends & fans,

It is with great disappointment that Willoughby City Council and artistic director Jane Rutter postpone the first four Live at Lunch concerts for 2020 on 15 April, 21 May, 1 July and 12 August. We are working on possible alternative dates for these performances and you will be advised further as soon as we know.

Options for ticket holders are:

• Request a credit so you can move your tickets to another Live at Lunch performance OR
• A full refund of your ticket price

Please email concourse_boxoffice@century.com.au with your preference from the above options. Include a daytime contact number in case we need to clarify any details as well as the date of the performance you are attending and your seat numbers. Please be patient with the venue’s staff as they work through this difficult time as there is a large backlog of refunds to process.

Thanks for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

A note from Jane Rutter: 

You know my devotion to the series, and how much I appreciate the incredible support you have shown us over the years. The series is such a highlight for me each year.

I am working on the possibility of posting to YouTube some of our past performances-so please standby for this info as well.

In the meantime, there are over 100 clips on YouTube you might like to check out.

I am also posting regularly on Facebook  and Instagram

You can also follow me on Spotify

You are all very dear in our hearts– what a joy it has been to make friends with you over the years! My fabulous musicians and I can’t wait to see you again and to share in the incredible joy that music  and friendship brings.

Please stay safe and well. Best wishes for your good health and fortitude in this tough time.

Rest assured, the sun will continue to shine, and the music will never die!
