FRIDAY 23rd  FEBRUARY - Langue de Chat

Open Studio Venue 204 High St, Northcote VIC 3070

There’s something about the melodic, breathy tones of the accordion that transports the listener to another place or time. Maybe a bal-musette in Paris, a youthful romance in Rome, a distant memory of a Melbourne dancehall or a railway station in Berlin. This is where Langue de Chat with chanteuse voice, cajoling guitar, earthy double bass and of course, piano accordion lie in wait in the misty shadows of a distant, tender memory.

Open Studio Bar is one of Melbourne's most iconic and intimate live music venues. Famous for its crepes, 40+ cocktails, and romantic undercover courtyard. 

Langue de Chat returns! - Early feature Friday show | Humanitix

Friday 1 March : The Night of Ideas at the National Gallery Victoria

Night of Ideas (La Nuit des Idées) | NGV | Triennial

The Night of Ideas (La Nuit des Idées) is an initiative of the French Embassy in partnership with the NGV and the Institut Français.

It is an opportunity for audiences and speakers to unite around a common theme and engage in thought provoking discussions. The 2024 theme ‘Fault Lines’ aims to shake up our understanding of the current world. Explore themes like shifting genders and identities, our responsibility to our natural world, and how breakthroughs of science and technology threaten to change the world as we know it.

Featuring an opening performance by Mo’Ju, and roving performances from the Australian Art Orchestra, the evening invites thought leaders, activists, musicians, authors, and world-leading experts to reflect on global issues alongside DJs, bars and late-night dining.
