Gaza pianist Baher Skaik and Australian-Palestinian singer Heba Tayeh bring intimate sounds of resilience to Collingwood.
Melbourne’s music community is gathering for something truly special this late June. A Night of Healing promises an intimate, candlelit evening of piano and song at the beautiful Collingwood Town Hall Ballroom, uniting two powerful voices for an evening of reflection, connection and hope.
Self-taught pianist Baher Skaik, recently celebrated on ABC’s The Piano, brings his deeply expressive playing from Gaza to Melbourne audiences. Joining him is Australian-Palestinian singer Heba Tayeh, whose soulful vocals will fill the historic space. Together, they create a space for emotional release and shared humanity through music.

This one-night-only event transforms the elegant ballroom into a warm, glowing sanctuary perfect for Melbourne’s winter evenings. Expect a carefully curated program blending original compositions, heartfelt covers and moments of quiet reflection, all under soft candlelight. A coffee truck and fresh pastries will be on hand, adding to the communal atmosphere before and after the performance.
At $80 a ticket with only 500 available, the evening offers a rare level of closeness with artists whose stories and music carry extra weight in these times. Baher’s journey as a self-taught musician from Gaza has already captured national attention, while Heba’s powerful voice continues to bridge cultures and emotions here in Australia.
Proudly supported by the City of Yarra, A Night of Healing speaks directly to the current hunger for meaningful cultural experiences that go beyond entertainment. In a city that values both artistic excellence and community solidarity, this event feels especially timely — a chance to connect through music while supporting families in need.
If you’re looking for a winter night that nourishes the soul rather than just filling an evening, this is it. Tickets are available now via Oztix and are expected to move quickly for what promises to be a memorable and moving experience.
