Port Fairy Spring Music Festival co-artistic director Monica Curro said they were thrilled to be bringing Piterman to Port Fairy and to reconnect with their audience.
''We designed this gala event with the community at the heart," Ms Curro said. "Having emerged from the challenging year that we have all had, we have come out on the other side with a renewed focus on the importance of our family and local community, and the importance of the arts and culture in our lives.
"How we have missed coming together to experience art together.
''Our gala event is a reminder of our need to connect and our passion to put on great performances to be shared with our friends, family and community.
"We can't wait to share this moment with Port Fairy and for audiences to experience the magnificent Josh Piterman in this intimate setting by the sea.''
