Sunset Variations is back for 2026, see the upcoming program here.

From sunset to twilight, in the perfect golden hour, join us at the highest point in Sydney to experience some of Australia’s most compelling musicians perform an immersive and evolving 3-hour set.

Maryam Rahmani is an Iranian-born santur player based in Adelaide. At 12, she started playing this delicate hammered dulcimer with up to 104 strings which dates to 699 BCE. Rahmani’s sound blends contemporary Western influences with the traditional music of her homeland.

All ages and walk ups welcome, pending site capacity.
