Looking forward to lunchtimes
Adelaide's much-loved series of lunchtime concerts returns to Elder Hall at the University of Adelaide this month - and one of Adelaide's `favourite daughters' is returning to help launch the season.

A husband and wife team are the latest University of Adelaide Distinguished Alumni. Beryl Kimber OBE and Clemens Leske AM were presented with the Distinguished Alumni Awards in recognition of their outstanding careers and contribution to music and the Elder Conservatorium.
