Sips & Sounds - Has Ended

Join Kind Hearted Australia Ltd, WA Classical Music Connect & Galafrey Wines for 'Sips & Sounds' - a beautiful evening of classical music paired to wine tasting whilst overlooking the Swan River in the stunning River Room at UWA Watersports Complex.

This combined charity fundraiser is all about exploring the connection between music and the mind, something that has been scientifically proven to assist with mental health diseases such as anxiety & depression. However we are taking this connection even further, by linking in the senses of taste & hearing to create something truly magical.

This event will raise funds for both Kind Hearted Australia Ltd & WA Classical Music Connect for them to contiunue the work they do not only with mental health but also with the aim to build a state-of-the-art women's refuge and reference centre in WA.

From Hollywood to the Great Southern to Sips & Sounds.

Composer Rebecca Guy is no stranger to collaborating with film directors, writing orchestral music for movies, though her new venture with wine producer Kim Tyrer from Galafrey Wines is heightened by a new sense.

Inspired by the taste of the wines, Rebecca has composed three very special pieces of music for flute, violin and cello to accompany each glass. ‘It is how the music resonates in my taste buds that I have captured. Usually I am writing music using my eyes to accompany the visual emotions on the screen and I am loving focusing on sounds that I taste” says Rebecca.

The fascination of wine was fostered when Rebecca met her wine loving husband in 2012. Rebecca joined the “Fabulous Ladies Wine Society” not long after, which has given her the opportunity to taste amazing and versatile wines and meet the wine makers. It was at one of these events Rebecca first met  Kim and tried her wines that has inspired her.

On Saturday 19th August, you can experience the premier of the collaboration to taste the music. You will be taken on a journey with Rebecca’s three pieces, whilst Kim will be there too and invite you to indulge the accompanying wines starting with a sparkling, then riesling and finishing with a shiraz.

Bring your friends and enjoy:

• Wine tasting of each wine at the start of each musical piece (with the option to purchase additional glasses)
• Classical Perth flute and string trio from Sweethearts Music
• Grazing throughout the evening
• Raffles & door prize
• Stunning location right on the Swan River
