Nat Bartsch’s immersive, soothing and neurodivergent-informed solo piano performance with surround sound and sensory-aware visuals.
Australian pianist and composer Nat Bartsch presents Forever Changed, a gentle, immersive concert experience designed especially with neurodivergent audiences in mind. Drawing from her critically acclaimed lullaby albums, Nat performs music that supports emotional regulation and calm, inspired by her own autistic and ADHD identity. Prepared with advice from neurodivergent peers and music therapists, the performance invites you to relax, move, stim and listen in your own way.
Ideal for anyone seeking a low-stress, welcoming concert environment, Forever Changed encourages deep listening and quiet joy. Across 50 minutes, Nat shares the stories behind her music, celebrating connection, self-acceptance and the beauty of neurodiversity.

Artist Nat Bartsch
Nat Bartsch is a double ARIA-nominated pianist, composer, producer, mentor and neurodiversity advocate. She deftly traverses the space between classical, jazz, ambient and post-rock, with a focus on kindness, wellbeing and community. Her ethereal, meditative music is uniquely intergenerational, and chosen by many Australians to accompany deeply personal moments, from childbirth to the hours before death.
Nat has performed and toured her original music in jazz and classical scenes for more than 17 years: from the Australian bush, to jazz clubs in Japan, to Royal Albert Hall. She has released nine albums, including several for ABC Classic & Jazz, and founded her own record label for ‘kind music’, Amica Records, in 2023, where she mentors many emerging artists.
Nat has received commissions from leading artists and ensembles including the Grigoryan Brothers, Plexus Collective, Alicia Crossley, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and Monash Art Ensemble; and has collaborated with Luke Howard, Inventi Ensemble, and the Hush Foundation. She holds a degree in jazz improvisation from Victorian College of the Arts, a Masters in classical composition from Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, and Graduate Diploma of Public Policy from RMIT. She lives in Eltham on Wurundjeri land.
