The concert will feature performances by opera singers Louise Keast, of Warrnambool, and Shikara Ringdahl, of Brisbane.
It has been organised by Ms Keast, 24, who moved to Warrnambool in July after studying opera in Brisbane and Canberra.
It's a chance to explore lieder songs through a visual lens.

The concert will feature songs inspired by classical female identities including Mignon, a female character in a novel by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
The songs have been composed by Mozart, Schubert and Hugo Wolf among others.
Pianist Sine Winther will accompany the singers. Guest artist, violinist Matthew Lim, of Warrnambool, will also perform.
Ms Keast said translations of the German songs into English will be part of the projected visuals to give the audience a better understanding of the spirit of the songs.
The concert will start at 7pm and tickets are $30 and $15 for those under 15 years.
