Gosford is about to be filled with music, magic, and community pride as the Fun Haus Factory unveils its newly gifted baby grand piano with a free community concert on Saturday, August 16.
The joyful celebration will mark the arrival of a stunning 1978 walnut Petrov baby grand piano, donated through a national initiative by ABC and Piano Plus Australia as part of the ABC TV series The Piano.
The series, currently airing on ABC iview, follows everyday Australians and their deep connection to the piano, while the campaign rehomes pre-loved pianos into communities across the country to inspire creativity and connection.
Gosford was selected as one of 19 recipients from 380 nominations.
To mark the occasion, Fun Haus Factory will present an evening of live performance in the newly opened Gosford Arts Centre – a space now positioned as a bold new cultural heartbeat for the region.
The concert, curated by Yantra De Vilder, the consultant producer of the Pop-Up Pianos campaign, promises a rich program of classical music, community choirs, contemporary performance, and cabaret.
Audiences will be treated to performances by De Vilder herself, alongside the much-loved Ephemera Choir, acclaimed classical pianist Mary Ellen Barry, renowned singer and cabaret performer Shauna Jenson, and a host of extraordinary young talents and emerging local musicians.
From tender solos to rousing ensemble moments, the evening will capture the emotion and power of the piano in its many forms.
The event also marks the opening of the Gosford Arts Centre.
The concert is completely free and open to all, making it a rare opportunity for locals to experience world-class talent in a welcoming and accessible space.
The piano now sits proudly in the heart of the Gosford CBD, ready to support future concerts, workshops, community jams, and performances.
The event is free but you must register for tickets at funhausfactory.org.au
