Step through the looking-glass and into a soundscape as wondrous as Wonderland itself. Cedar Collective, a Melbourne-based ensemble founded in 2025, invites you down the rabbit hole for a special Echuca concert amongst enchanting Alice in Wonderland sand sculptures. Violinists Jessica Leigh and Sara Barbagallo, violist Edmund Mantelli, and cellist Sarah Wang will guide you through a vibrant, one-hour musical adventure where the familiar becomes fantastical.

In this topsy-turvy world, pop and film favourites, beloved songs and iconic themes from artists like Coldplay, Fleetwood Mac, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Taylor Swift, Queen, are reimagined for string quartet, transformed as if by the Queen of Hearts herself. Expect melodies that shimmer like the Cheshire Cat’s grin and rhythms that race along like the White Rabbit, all delightfully reborn in true Cedar Collective style.

Dedicated to crafting performances that feel as welcoming as the Mad Hatter’s tea table (minus the chaos… mostly), Cedar Collective brings warmth, accessibility, and a deep sense of connection to every stage they visit. Through their adaptable programming and collaborative spirit, they continue to weave musical magic across Victoria’s regional and metropolitan scenes, sharing the joy of live performance wherever curiosity leads them.
