The ever-popular Friday Lunch Hour Concert Series returns to the University of Adelaide today.

The second series for 2007 starts in Elder Hall at 1.10pm with a very special concert of chamber music. Led by Terence Tam, Concertmaster of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, the program features the beautiful Horn Quintet K407 by Mozart and a new work by Philip Hall which was composed especially to complement the quintet.

Once again, the Lunch Hour Concert Series features a diverse range of music performed by staff and students from the University of Adelaide's Elder Conservatorium of Music, and a range of exciting new artists.

The Melbourne-based Benaud Trio, named after the famous cricketer, has established a fine reputation and will perform the Piano Trio No.1 by Brahms in September. The TinAlley String Quartet will also visit from Melbourne in September.

Marija Bajalica, a Yugoslav-born pianist now resident in Adelaide, will give her first solo recital for the concert series in early November, and organist Christopher Wrench from Brisbane will perform on Elder Hall's stunning Casavant Frères organ.

The Elder Conservatorium once again has received corporate support from Allans Music for two of the concerts in this series. The recital by Marija Bajalica is a special Steinway event, which will showcase the instrument in Elder Hall, and the prizes for the final concert featuring the Conservatorium's most talented students are also being provided by Allans Music.

The concerts will be held from 1.10─2.00pm every Friday from 3 August until 16 November in Elder Hall, North Terrace Campus, University of Adelaide.

Admission is only $6 and tickets are available at the door from 12.30pm on the day of each concert.

If you want to reserve a seat for the whole season, a Gold Pass is also available for just $75. For more information contact the Concert Office on (08) 8303 5925.
