The House Music 2012 series presents some of the finest Australian and international classical chamber musicians performing in the remarkable and intimate setting of the 19th-century ballroom at Government House.

This year House Music hosts the Australian debut of classical guitarist Ana Vidovic and a special concert from Netherlands-based Osmosis ensemble. A highlight will be the return of the Tawadros brothers with electric bassist Steve Hunter. Soprano Taryn Fiebig and harpist Marshall McGuire will present songs of love and longing, while Kathryn Selby and Clancy Newman, the Sydney Soloists, the Goldner Quartet, the Streeton Trio, and Jane Rutter and Simon Tedeschi, will all bring the Government House ballroom to life.
