About Tender is the Night

Tender is the Night is a seasonal series pairing WA's finest songwriters with the Tender Strings Quartet in an unforgettable evening as songs are reimagined and performed live with exquisite arrangements by Western Australian composers. 

Bringing together classical and contemporary music for a truly unique performance, these must-see concerts feature artists hearing their songs reimagined by a string quartet for the first time as they are played alongside them.

Produced and curated by artist Leigh Gardiner and supported by the City of Melville - discover new music and enjoy your favourite performers in an intimate show as soundscapes unfold before you.

What to Expect

Tender is the Night is a picnic style event, presented outdoors at sunset over the warmer months, moving indoors to the comfort of the theatre during the cooler months. Bring your own cushions, rugs, drinks and nibbles and enjoy a sensational night of entertainment.
