Spring Sessions

A live music series bringing the Library’s leafy Macquarie Street forecourt to life.

The musician plays and the lead singer sings on stage at the music festival. Concert, mini concert and music festivals.

This spring, the Library brings live music outdoors. Spring Sessions will transform the Macquarie Street forecourt into a vibrant, welcoming hub for all ages, spotlighting some of Sydney’s best local musicians.

Each Wednesday from 5–8 pm, drop by after work, catch up with friends, or take a well-deserved study break and settle in for free performances from a live act and DJ. There’ll be relaxed seating, a pop-up bar and a street library to pick up your next read.

Featuring live sets from indie duo 198archie & Sage Dwyer, rapper and vocalist DEVAURA, country singer-songwriter KYARNA, jazz improvisers Manfredo Lament, alt-soul producer Putrika and R&B singer RIAH. Plus, catch DJ sets from anusha, Attu, DAN+EE, Lewa, Rhea Sara and salllvage. For full set times click the ‘Learn more’ button below.

This is a drop-in event with no bookings required. 

This event is part of the Library’s 200th Anniversary Festival, an exciting six-week program of performances, talks and free live music.
