Horsham-born pianist Linda O'Brien performed alongside concert virtuoso Len Vorster at the Two Grands Four Hands event.
Vorster is a long-time Wimmera Eisteddfod adjudicator.
They were joined by international soprano Alison Rae Jones who performed songs from the musicals Les Miserables and West Side Story.
Acting venue manager Joy Cowie said the late-afternoon performance attracted people of all ages.
"There were a lot of parents whose children learn piano so they brought them along," she said.
"It was really pleasing to see so many people of varying ages and the performers commented that they were really delighted with the crowd.
"We have quite a large genre of music lovers in Horsham, ranging from the rock scene to classical music."
O'Brien and Vorster acoustically performed hits from Debussy and Ravel, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein.
"They really enjoy performing acoustically because many larger venues aren't able to do that," Mrs Cowie said.
"People also stayed on after the show to meet the performers.
"They feel that the performers are not just on the stage but that there is a personal connection."
