City Recital Hall and Ragazzi Wine and Pasta are partnering up this summer to couple exquisite food and wine with exceptional live music in the laneways. This is the ideal summer treat where you can relax outside with a tipple and soak up some live music that we have all missed so much. 

Award-winning vocalist and electric violinist, Fem Belling, brings her delectable, live show to the laneways this summer. 

“A breathtaking storyteller through music”, "a master force in standards singing", she will hold you transfixed long after her final note. With her powerhouse vocals, sophisticated jazz palate, and spectacular breadth of range she brings an afternoon of delicious musical surprises.

Entry is via Pitt Street.
