Rebel Heart: Love letters and other declarations is a tribute to defiant expressions of the heart, celebrating true stories of the rebels of romance from the past to the present.

Featuring powerful new music commissions by Australian artists Angie McMahon, Mindy Meng Wang, Mo’Ju and Amos Roach.

With a special opening gala performance by Mindy Meng Wang, Margot Petrie and Anita Quayle.

Dates:

Thursday, 12 February 2026 - 6pm

Fluxcore 94 will perform their self-titled debut album in full for the first and most likely only time at the Curtin Hotel for a special celebration. Expect a high energy jazz-funk set with an emphasis on spontaneity. Fluxcore 94 uses improvisation to bridge the gaps between musical ideas, creating free-flowing sets that take the audience on a journey through funk, jazz and more abstract breakdowns of musical conversation.

This night will also feature our favourite local DJs Shio and Mike Gurrieri. As well as the exciting up and coming soul-jazz band Selenic, lead by Margot Petrie and Ava McDermott.

SHIO
