As much as I adore playing in a beautiful, acoustically rich concert hall, I also really love playing outside, which funnily enough is not as easy for a classical musician to do because of the relationship we have with the space we perform in.
Brendan Joyce,
But Brisbane has such a beautiful climate and we’re all really looking forward to being outdoors in the beautiful area that is Victoria Park. This concert will give people not just the chance to enjoy some amazing music, but to enjoy those incredible views of the city from the park.
