Meet the musicians bringing Spring Into Art to life

From world-class performers to much-loved local musicians, music is at the heart of the Newbridge Spring Into Art Festival, 16–18 October 2026.

Across three days, Newbridge and the surrounding villages will come alive with live performances in some of the region’s most beautiful and unexpected spaces, from historic churches to the Newbridge Showground and local venues.

The festival begins on Friday evening with an extraordinary concert at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, where acclaimed pianist Simon Tedeschi and jazz violinist and vocalist George Washingmachine return to Newbridge, joined this year by special guest Clare O’Meara, for an evening of jazz and Latin songs from the Great American Songbook.

Throughout the weekend, an eclectic line-up of musicians, singers, ensembles and performers will continue the celebration, creating a soundtrack for a weekend devoted to art, music and community.
