Peter Vadiveloo & Bohemian Nights: An Afternoon of Music for Hearts and Minds

Join us for a brilliant afternoon of live music, culture and connection at the Port Phillip EcoCentre.

Peter Vadiveloo will be performing both new and familiar songs that explore social justice, the environment, climate action, and politics, along with a few light-hearted and funny ones. He hopes his music moves you, challenges you, and offers meaningful new perspectives on the social and political issues that affect our lives and communities.

Bohemian Nights will take us on a magical musical journey across the lands of Klezmer, tango and Middle Eastern melodies.

We are rapt to be the first concert held at the newly-rebuilt EcoCentre in St Kilda. They work with the local community doing great projects on ecology, education and more (including the penguins!).

This special concert celebrates culture, community and our shared humanity - an afternoon of music that is passionate, uplifting and thought-provoking, connecting with both your heart and mind.

Biographies on myself and Bohemian Nights are provided below the concert details.
