Sun Returns: Joe Caddy and Simone & Girlfunkle

Set your alarm clock for a meditative listening session set against the backdrop of the sunrise!

In partnership with Tender is the Night, Boola Bardip presents a morning concert where classical and contemporary sounds combine, set against the backdrop of the rising sun, perched in the highest reaches of our eastern terrace.

Start your day early with a coffee in hand, take a moment to reflect, and watch Boorloo’s east metropolitan area light up from the base of the hills to the steps of the Museum, scored by our special guests The Tender Strings, Joe Caddy and Simon & Girlfunkle. 

The Level 3 terrace nook (indoors, warm, and undercover) transforms into a serene performance space for this 90-minute experience.

Tender is the Night is a seasonal series of intimate gigs, pairing West Australian songwriters with a string quartet. 

The Tender Strings comprises of experienced professional violin, viola and cello players who work with WA Symphony Orchestra, Perth Symphony Orchestra and various projects such as Flamingo Strings, Alchemy Art Quartet, Babyaga and more.

Using soaring melodies and a raw, emotive performance to detail the weight of human existence, Perth artist Joe Caddy uses the medium of music to offer insight into romance and spirituality, love and life. Though deeply personal, the lyrics and themes in Joe Caddy's music aim to reflect the part of life that rings true within everyone; the infinite love that all of us can utilize to create a better world.

Indie-folk darlings Simone and Girlfunkle were born on one of North Perth's hazy, sun- drenched afternoons. With a mesmerising combination of three-part female harmonies and delightful arrangements, they produce shimmering pop-folk perfection that is at once beautiful and a heck of a lot of fun.
