The 2016 series will hone in on songwriting and storytelling traditions throughout international cultures when ‘Songs and Stories’ kicks off the event. Hosted by PBS presenter Jess Fairfax, the show will celebrate the narratives of music with performances from Clambe, the Senegambian Jazz Band and Dave Arden covering everything from Latin to country.

‘Love is in the Air’ will showcase a special Valentine’s Day installment with salsa dancing classes and gypsy jazz from La Mauvaise Réputation bringing a slice of romance to the Yarra. Elsewhere, Heatwave will play host to a hot and heavy mix of Melbourne soul with performances from Cookin’ On 3 Burners alongside Sapphire Dance and Emma Donovan & The PutBacks. 

Capping off the series is Come Together, celebrating the power and versatility of vocal harmony throughout a range of genres. Hosted by MC Neda Rahmani, the audience will be guided through an evening of interactive performances featuring 1930s party band The Furbelows and family reggae outfit T-Rhythm.
