Artists

Killalea Strings is a vibrant community group for adult string players across the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, and Shoalhaven.

Open to amateur to semi-professional musicians, the group offers a supportive space to grow skills, make music together, and connect through shared artistry. Ensemble playing builds confidence, sharpens listening skills, and fosters a strong sense of musical community. Killalea Strings is open to participants aged 18 and over.

In Residence at Bundanon

Killalea String Orchestra is delighted to have been accepted for a 2026 Bundanon Residency, offering a unique opportunity for artistic development in one of Australia’s most inspiring cultural environments. As part of the residency, we will commission new eight-minute works for string orchestra by Australian composers John Spence and Ann Carr-Boyd. These works will be written specifically for the ensemble and developed collaboratively during our time at Bundanon, reflecting the orchestra’s distinctive sound and surrounding landscape. Both works will be professionally recorded and made publicly available.
