The IRT Kangara Waters Concert Series has, as its objective, to bring music of the very highest quality to the Belconnen area to enhance the lives of those within Kangara Waters in a way which can also be shared by the local general community. As well, it is planned that Kangara Waters will become identified as a focus for regular quality music performances in Belconnen by both professional musicians and for graduating music students.
In memory of the founders of the Series, Noelene Akeroyd and John Bonnett.
