About
Four Winds
Since 1991 Four Winds has captured the hearts and minds of composers, musicians and audiences, bringing thousands of people to the site every year
It is our great honour and privilege to give voice to people and place through sound and music, in partnerships that expand creative and cultural horizons.
The natural bush site was transformed in 2014 with the expertise and vision of architects Phillip Cox and Clinton Murray. The 2,000-person capacity outdoor Sound Shell was developed to create a stunning outdoor performance space; the 180-seat Windsong Pavilion, mimics the surrounding spotted gum forest, and boasts an extraordinary acoustic in which sound is gently circulated around the purpose-built panels to delight musicians and audience alike. Due to its acoustics, the Windsong Pavilion is a highly sought-after recording venue.
Four Winds has undertaken the development of a significant Native Species Arboretum on the site in conjunction with Landcare Australia. Four Winds has a clear vision and commitment to foster community engagement, preserve the natural environment, and to deepen partnerships with the Yuin Nation’s local aboriginal communities.
These permanent facilities have enabled Four Winds to grow to present a rich year-round program comprising orchestral concerts, intimate performances, community events, artist residencies, music education programs including mentorships, and live-streamed digital events.
Today thousands of music lovers come to be enthralled at Natures Concert hall, embraced by the music, sharing the experience with friends and family, and enjoying the local food and wines.
Four Winds continues to blossom each year, giving musicians and audiences the opportunity to immerse themselves in music and nature, to celebrate the creative life. Four Winds continues to encourage and support creative people of all ages and ultimately inspire all who join in this experience.
The cultural heart that is Four Winds invites all to dive in to music and nature and emerge transformed.
Four Winds has a clear vision and commitment to foster community engagement, preserve the natural environment, and to strengthen partnerships with the Yuin Nation’s local aboriginal communities.
I would close my eyes and hear the music around me then I could sense a gentle breeze, my senses are heightened, what a sublime experience!
