MOTIONS FESTIVAL

Saturday 4 April 2026
5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Circular Quay, Sydney
Free community event

If you’ve been to SOUL OF SYDNEY over the past few years, you’ll no doubt recognise Kristine and Andre. As local musicians, artists and professional dancers, they’ve been central figures in many of our events, blessing our stages and dancefloors with unforgettable cameo performances, joyful energy and a deep connection to rhythm.

Their musical project, ALMA TO SOUL, brings together Brazilian roots, reggae, traditional sounds, Afro-Latin rhythms, soul and world music. Their performances combine live music with movement, creating an immersive experience that celebrates culture, connection and the simple pleasure of dancing together.

Their special sunset set at Circular Quay will be the perfect soundtrack to a Saturday afternoon by the Harbour, Music in Open Spaces. We love community events because there is something especially powerful about music in open spaces.

If you’re in the area, come down to Circular Quay for a laid-back Saturday filled with Brazilian-infused soul, reggae, roots music, dance and good vibes.
