Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra - Fate
Presented by Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra
Metro Concert #3
Tchaikovsky wrote of his Fourth Symphony:
“...This is Fate, the fatal power that hinders one in the pursuit of happiness from gaining the goal, which jealously provides that peace and comfort do not prevail, that the sky is not free from clouds—a might that swings, like the sword of Damocles, constantly over the head that poisons the soul.”
Night on Bald Mountain opens the concert with that same tumult of energy contained in the Fourth, with Mussorgsky’s depiction of a witches’ sabbath. Soloist Courtenay Cleary continues with the Queensland premiere of contemporary American composer Jennifer Higdon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Violin Concerto, with its insistent, dexterous passages drawing the listener to the edge of their seat. The concert concludes with the immense Fourth Symphony, sonorous and demanding.
PROGRAM:
Mussorgsky | Night on Bald Mountain
Higdon | Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky | Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36

Chords of Time：Legacy of Five Tones 風雅頌合
Chords of Time —— Concert 風雅頌合 Ballads, Hymns, Eulogies
Enter a world where music once echoed through ancient courts, drifted across riverside villages, and rose with incense in sacred rituals.
Inspired by Feng, Ya, and Song — the poetic foundations of one of China's oldest literary treasures — this performance brings to life a musical tradition few in the West have encountered.
Through live music, voice, and dance, this performance reimagines those ancient sounds for the modern stage. Traditional Chinese instruments blend with Western elements such as piano, cello, and contemporary compositional techniques — creating a rich fusion of rhythm, ritual, and reflection.
Whether you're new to Chinese music or already enchanted by its beauty, this is a rare chance to discover one of the world’s oldest musical-poetic traditions — and to feel its quiet power, mystery, and elegance unfold before you.
風、雅、頌，是《詩經》的三個組成部分，根據地域和音樂的不同分類。 “風”指國風，即西周時期各國的民間歌謠。 “雅”，是周王京畿的樂歌和雅樂， “頌”是形容、讚頌的意思，是當時統治者進行祭祀時的音樂。
本場音樂會以《風》《雅》《頌》為背景，以器樂，人聲以及舞蹈來表達祭祀，雅樂，民歌等一系列藝術表現形式，旨在還原原汁原味的中國傳統文化，展現中國音樂的獨特魅力。在返璞歸真的基礎上，融合東方與西方音樂，建立東西方音樂交流的橋樑。本場演出將是一場藝術盛宴，由布里斯班專業音樂人及作曲家連袂演出，讓觀眾聆聽，欣賞並感受《風》《雅》《頌》主題音樂帶來的和諧之美。

Julian Woods - Cancel Me
Presented by Hells basement
Australia’s King of Dark Humour is back—and he’s not here to apologize.
After his viral ‘Make Dark Humour Great Again’ tour and ‘Dark Jokes Series’ set the internet on fire, Julian Woods returns with a brand new hour of jaw-dropping, boundary-pushing comedy that critics tried and failed to cancel.
With over 1.2 million combined followers and a reputation for crossing lines others wouldn’t dare, Julian’s back on the road with a show even darker, bolder, and more twisted than before.
In ‘Cancel Me!’, Woods takes aim at everything and everyone, leaving no sacred cow untouched. This isn't just stand-up; it's a battle cry for the freedom to joke about whatever the hell he wants, no matter who gets triggered. And once the tour ends, this show is cancelled—for good. So, if you want to experience the raw, unfiltered chaos of Julian Woods before he gets locked down by another 'cancel culture' attempt, you'd better get your tickets while you still can!
Brace yourself. This is comedy you won’t be able to forget. Coming soon to Australia, the UK, and Ireland.

beethoven - mass in C
Presented by Brisbane Chorale
This concert features two contrasting works: Beethoven’s Mass in C and Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare.
These two compelling works for choir and orchestra, written over 300 years apart - one by a man revered as one of the greatest composers of all time, and one by a woman, a rising star in contemporary classical composition. Ludwig von Beethoven’s Mass in C expresses the full range of human experience and emotion, and Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare weaves together traditional Latin, Greek and English texts, taking the listener through a season of beauty and goodness disrupted by darkness and confusion.
Both works, with their contrasting voices, leave the listener with hope and restoration.
Brisbane Chorale is proud to present this very special concert, with Sinfonia of St Andrew’s and conductor Emily Cox.

Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra - Mahler’s Fifth
Presented by Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra
Metro Concert #4
Chris Williams opens BPO’s final concert of the year with the Concerto for Didgeridoo by Queensland composer Sean O’Boyle. The work makes use of the improvisational aspect of traditional didgeridoo playing, and was created in partnership with William Barton using the elements of Earth, Water, Wind and Fire as a foundation for each movement.
From the opening notes to the final coda, Mahler’s Fifth is a symphony that speaks directly to the soul. Experience “this primeval music, this foaming, roaring, raging sea of sound…” that Mahler despaired of, writing and rewriting it for a decade while desperately striving to portray something he saw as an inexorable part of his soul, laid bare to the world.

Denis Carnahan’s Cricket the musical
RISING FROM THE ASHES OF BAZBALL
After a triumphant tour earlier this year, Denis Carnahan is bringing his hilarious one man cult hit musical comedy show Cricket The Musical back to The Old Museum on December 2nd, as part of his Rising From The Ashes Of Bazball national tour of 2025/26, following the visiting English cricket team around the country .
The 2025/26 cricket season is destined to be filled with controversy and pantomime, from the World Test Championship to the West Indies series, followed by the always hilarious touring English Cricketers. They’re still smarting from the Farce of the Wandering Bairstow, and sure to bring the slapstick of Bazball. Add to that the drama of last season’s Indian shoulder charges and send offs and the burlesque of the Big Bash, and you have more comic narratives than any music theatre librettist could ever dream of!
Australia’s hardest working musical sports satirist uses his unique satirical spin to review it all, along with the game’s history of treachery, villainy, facial hair, and illegal abrasives. For almost two decades, Carnahan has been producing songs and parodies about the many colourful characters and controversies Australian sport produces. They go to air weekly on the ABC, and have previously featured on The Footy Show, Fox Sports, Triple M and many more. His songs about Stuart Broad’s sportsmanship, MCC selection policies, Mitchell Johnson’s moustache, and other sports have had millions of hits on YouTube.
Prepare yourself to boo the villains and cheer the heroes as Cricket The Musical brings the songs to life on stage, with videos, sketches and caricatures celebrating the many controversies of this summer’s matches.
“Cricket The Musical is a delight”
The Age
“Great show… really enjoyed it”
Ian Chappell - if you don’t know who he is, this might not be the show for you.
“Hilarious. My favourite musical - even better than The Lion King”

mark wilkinson - wild & hunted things tour
Presented by craft music
With Mark Crotti
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Wilkinson, celebrates the release of his forthcoming album "Wild & Hunted Things" with a string of dates across the country this August and September.
With a career that spans over a decade, Wilkinson has cemented himself as one of Australia’s premiere acts with his soul stirring live performances and evocative songwriting. After building a global fanbase on the back of his busking roots in Sydney's streets, the troubadour has amassed over 150 million streams on Spotify, sold in excess of 80,000 physical albums and packed out headline shows across the world. As a support act he's shared stages with Brian Wilson, Rodriguez, Xavier Rudd, The Whitlams and Seal to name just a few.
Set for release on July 4th, his new album "Wild & Hunted Things" is a hybrid of eloquent folk, evocative indie and enigmatic pop brought to life at the fabled Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg Sweden.
"For me, Wild & Hunted Things represent those magical parts of life that make us feel enriched and energized. This record is written about trying to nurture and preserve those things whilst navigating life's inevitable challenges and hardships that can endanger your spirit." - Mark Wilkinson
A natural storyteller, Wilkinson’s songs find inspiration in life's perpetual shifts and in the joy, hardships and triumphs that result. Infused with a voice drenched in soul, this is music that reaches out and strikes listeners at their emotional core.
"Sometimes you catch a voice that makes your heart just soar and Mark Wilkinson has one of those voices. So emotive, so moving..." (Americana Highways)
“There's a glow of warmth around him and a richness to his supreme voice, sending shivers down spines as he pulls you into the soul of him” (Hazel Buckley - The Music)

Daniel Champagne - 2025 Tour
Presented by The Harbour Agency
Daniel Champagne lives and breathes live music. Recently described as “the finest guitar player of this generation” the young virtuoso delivers an experience that must be seen to be believed and after years of relentless touring all over the world, he will spend 2025 back in his homeland of Australia bringing intimate concerts to all corners of the country.
Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, the story goes that the young singer-songwriter and one of a kind guitar virtuoso first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamic live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he finished school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back.
The following 15 years have seen him release 7 studio albums, sell out concerts all over the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
He has been described as “a leading light in acoustic music” and “an ambassador for the guitar around the world” and is putting roots down back home in Australia where it all began.
WHAT THE PRESS SAY..
“The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” The Calgary Herald, CANADA
“Today I saw the future of Folk – Festival goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” The Firefly Column, USA
“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads. Fusing the strong traditions of Blues, Folk and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” The Indie Blender, CANADA
“reinventing roots guitar” Rhythms Magazine, AUSTRALIA
“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once in a lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.” BW Review, NEW ZEALAND
“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical” TheMusic, AUSTRALIA
"You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities afresh” Ted Gioia (American jazz critic and music historian)

Danny Widdicombe and Trichotomy
Presented by Futurfonic
Following the success of their acclaimed 2020 collaboration Between the Lines, renowned guitarist and songwriter Danny Widdicombe and celebrated jazz trio Trichotomy are back with their new album, IRIDESCENCE. This latest project is a stunning blend of jazz, modern soul and funk —an album that showcases the seamless musical chemistry between Widdicombe and the trio.
“This album feels like such a natural collaboration,” says Danny Widdicombe. “We didn’t really plan out a lot of the music... we had some sketches of songs and just went into the studio. The songs took their shape throughout the session.”
Known for his work with The Wilson Pickers and his acclaimed solo releases, Widdicombe’s distinctive songwriting and masterful guitar playing merge effortlessly with the bold improvisational energy of Trichotomy—featuring pianist Sean Foran, drummer John Parker, and bassist Samuel Vincent. The trio, whose past releases include Fact Finding Mission and Known-Unknown, are recognized for their innovative approach to the trio format, incorporating elements of post-rock, ambient music, and cinematic textures. Their last release To Vanish received critical acclaim, with Jazz Views noting, “Trichotomy’s music has always been vibrant, textural, and smart... The album shows the trio and their new musical partners pushing boundaries and exploring new territories.”
While deeply rooted in jazz, IRIDESCENCE also draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists and genres. Echoes of The Meters’ groove-heavy funk, the soulful warmth of Leon Bridges and Ray LaMontagne, the atmospheric storytelling of Thomas Dybdahl, the dynamic energy of Tingsek & the grooves of Khruangbin weave their way through the album. This fusion of influences creates a sound that is rich, textured, and unbound by genre, offering listeners something truly unique.
“Working with Danny is completely different from all the other collaborations we’ve done,” says pianist Sean Foran. “There’s scope in the music for us to be really creative, but it challenges us to respond to his ideas, lyrics and songwriting craft. These are beautiful songs that really stay with you”.
Building on the foundations of Between the Lines, IRIDESCENCE is a deeper exploration of sonic interplay, with rich harmonies, evocative melodies and lyrics, and a fearless approach to composition and improvisation. With each track, the group pushes their creative boundaries, blurring genres and redefining contemporary jazz & soul.
A must-listen for fans of adventurous, genre-defying music, IRIDESCENCE cements Danny Widdicombe + Trichotomy as one of the most compelling collaborative projects in the Australian music scene today.

My Fatherland
Presented by Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra
Metro Concert #2
Ma Vlast (My Fatherland) and Sibelius’s Second Symphony come together as a celebration of far-off lands.
Opening with the harpsong of the mythic bard Lumír, Prague’s castle, Vysehrad, looks down on the river Vltava (or Moldau) in Smetana’s ode to his native land of Bohemia. Soloist Emily Granger then takes centre stage for the elegant and refined Morceau de Concert by Saint-Saens, in which the harp luxuriates in true French style.
Sibelius’s achingly beautiful Symphony No. 2 is, in his own words, a “confession of the soul”. The work opens with a simple three-note motif, and ends with a power and majesty that has grown from the roots of what came before.
Conductor: Steven Moore
Soloist: Emily Granger (Harp)
PROGRAM:
Smetana | Vysehrad and Moldau (from Ma Vlast)
Saint-Saens | Morceau de Concert, Op. 154

Ian Rankin: Midnight and Blue
Presented by BRISBANE WRITERS FESTIVAL
For more than thirty years, Ian Rankin has thrilled readers with the exploits of Detective Inspector Rebus, one of the definitive heroes of modern crime fiction.

Interweaving two mysteries that will puzzle even the most seasoned armchair detectives, Midnight & Blue is another triumph of tartan noir.

Alan Hollinghurst: Our Evenings
Presented by BRISBANE WRITERS FESTIVAL
One of the masters of modern fiction, Alan Hollinghurst has enthralled readers with his elegant and cutting examinations of life among England’s upper classes. The decade-spanning Our Evenings perfectly encapsulates a changing society through the prism of two very different men, one as lovable as the other is loathsome – a talented, mixed-race actor and an ambitious politician.
Recalling his Man Booker Prize winning The Line of Beauty with its effortless melding of the personal and political, Our Evenings is another masterpiece from a preeminent prose stylist.
Artists
