Presented by The Love Police

With Special Guest AC Saunders

Following on from the release of his first true collection of original songs WILLIE WATSON, the celebrated folk singer returns to Australia this March for a run around the country sharing and celebrating music in the American folk tradition.

Co-founder of Old Crow Medicine Show and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings collaborator, Willie Watson is back with a suite of new music, produced alongside members of Punch Brothers and Milk Carton Kids, that reckon with heartbreak, memory, sobriety and hope, carried by Watson’s exquisite rural tenor and timeless sense of songcraft.

Stripped of the cowboy hat and expectations, Watson has emerged as a songwriter of rare depth and truth. His new work stands proudly alongside the folk canon he has long championed - songs that remind us of our shared burdens, resilience and the possibility of renewal.

This March, Love Police proudly presents Willie Watson as he returns Down Under for the tenth or so time. Supporting Willie Watson on his Australian journey is Melbourne-based guilt slinger, song singer, chain blinger A.C. Saunders.

This is one evening with Willie Watson that you won’t wanna miss!

Presented by Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra

Metro Concert #1

The Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra’s first concert for their 2026 season traces a journey from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to the earliest voices that walked our own land.

Opening the program, Peter Sculthorpe’s Earth Cry speaks with stark urgency and elemental power. Drawing on indigenous influences and raw orchestral colour, the work is both a lament and a call to attention, prompting us to listen closely to the earth beneath our feet.

John Rotar’s The Starry Messenger, a new work jointly commissioned by BPO and The Australian Voices, then turns our gaze skyward, inspired by the text of early astronomer Galileo Galilei. The concert concludes with Gustav Holst’s iconic The Planets. From the relentless drive of Mars, the Bringer of War to the hushed mystery of Neptune, the Mystic, Holst’s astrological portraits unfold with colour, drama, and imagination, bringing this cosmic journey to a powerful and unforgettable close.

CONDUCTOR: Stefanie Smith 

CHOIR: The Australian Voices

Live in interesting places

After years of friendship and a shared obsession with architecture and design, Kevin McCloud and Tim Ross are taking their banter and big ideas on the road - and, true to form, they’re doing it in some very interesting places.

From a Brutalist theatre to a reimagined heritage-listed church and one of Australia’s most loved public buildings, Live in Interesting Places brings together two great talkers and thinkers for an evening of stories, laughter, and design-fuelled inspiration.

It’s the first time they’ve shared a stage since their two sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera House in 2019, a collaboration rekindled with the release of their hit podcast Tim & Kev’s Big Design Adventure.

“It’s going to be entertaining and edifying,” promises Kevin.

“And full of surprises - we can’t wait to share what we’ve been cooking up,” adds Tim.

Tickets for this very special live experience are strictly limited, please book now to avoid missing out.

The Old Museum is delighted to announce that we have been able to reschedule the concert of award-winning Melbourne-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter, Ben Abrahams.

The Old Museum had some technical issues which resulted in Ben's show, originally scheduled for 20 December to not go ahead..

You can now catch the acclaimed artist – whose heart-on-sleeve storytelling has earned him praise from The New York Times and collaborations with the likes of Sara Bareilles, Kesha, Gotye and Demi Lovato – when he lights up The Old Museum on Friday 9 January 2026 at 8pm.

Joined by a few surprise guests (previous years have featured appearances from Vance Joy, Gotye and more), Ben’s (postponed) Christmas Special is split into two sets: the first showcasing the singer’s own original music – from fan favourites such as ‘Never Been Better’ and ‘If I Didn’t Love You’, to songs from his 2022 album, Friendly Fire – and the second half a delightfully unpredictable indie spectacular.

A gifted storyteller with a cinematic touch, Ben first captured hearts with his self-released debut album Sirens – later reissued by indie label Secretly Canadian and hailed by The New York Times as “a debut of remarkable depth.” This set Ben on a path that would see him co-write the GRAMMY-nominated hit ‘Praying’ for Kesha and craft songs for artists such as Demi Lovato and The Chicks.

Presented by Bach Society of Qld Inc

The Bach Society of Queensland has a long tradition of performing George Frideric Handel's wonderful oratorio recounting the narrative of the life, death and resurrection of Christ, Messiah. This year’s performance is a particularly special one for the Bach Society, marking our 50th annual performance of this work.

For this landmark performance, we will be presenting the Mozart arrangement of Handel’s work. The Mozart arrangement was first performed in 1789. Reworking Handel’s characteristically baroque orchestration (deploying a small orchestra consisting of oboes, strings, and a basso continuo of harpsichord, cello, violin and bassoon), Mozart’s adaptation substantially increases the size of the orchestra and makes use of the instrumentation of the symphonic orchestra of his day, including, for example, parts for clarinet, French horn, trombone and flute.

Those who are familiar with Handel’s Messiah will immediately notice the fuller texture and the greater variety in tonal colour that this later orchestration by Mozart brings, along with some notable differences in the distribution of parts of the work between the different soloists and between soloists and choir. For those who are new to the work, the pathos of this re-telling of the story of stories – from joy to anguish, from consolation to despair – offers the possibility of an extraordinary new musical journey.

Our annual performances of Messiah are a highlight of the year for the Bach Choir and we look forward to sharing this very special 50th anniversary performance you.

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”
  Ryan, aged 14
“...takes you through the eras with song, laughter and characters.
“Great fun performed by a mad genius”

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.

Conducted by Stefanie Smith

Ever wondered what Jane Austen’s stories would sound like with a live orchestra? This unique concert brings her world to life with beautiful music and live acting. You’ll hear pieces from the time Austen lived - like the dramatic Pride and Prejudice Suite and the powerful Reformation Symphony - while actors perform scenes from her novels, including Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion.

It’s not just sitting and listening; there’s storytelling, romance, and even a bit of comedy. The second half kicks off with Mozart’s lively Magic Flute, and the actors will move through the audience, making the experience feel up close and personal. With period costumes, a simple stage, and a full symphony orchestra right there with the performers, it’s a fun and moving way to explore Austen’s world—even if you’ve never been to a concert before.

 Beethoven - Mass in C

Elaine Hagenberg - Illuminare

with Brisbane Chorale and Sinfonia of St Andrew's

Two delightful works for choir and orchestra and a team of Queensland's finest young soloists.  

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 van 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 four fabulous emerging artists: Eline van Bruggen, Beth Allen, Oliver King, and Timothy Nielson and Sinfonia of St Andrew’s with conductor Emily Cox.

Review Quotes:

“There were so many highlights in this set!”

“You always manage to put on a brilliant show – great songs, amazing musicianship”

“This was such a great night of music! I felt really nostalgic and remembered the parties my parents had in the late 60s when they played all this music”

“I didn’t want it to end. Great songs, so much fun to hear and watch the band – who are incredible, by the way”.

“...the first show to sell out in the festival program; testament to the following the band has garnered”

Bacharacharama performs The Very Best of Bacharach

Bacharacharama brings you the lush, smooth and catchy songs and sounds of the sixties by master song writer Burt Bacharach. 

Burt Bacharach (1928–2023) was a Grammy and Oscar-winning American composer, songwriter, record producer, and pianist, renowned for his unique, sophisticated pop music that blended jazz, classical, and traditional elements, often featuring intricate harmonies, unusual time signatures, and innovative orchestrations.

Bacharacharama will perform a set of their favourite songs from movie soundtracks, number one hits and a couple of lesser-known treasures.  Don’t miss this groovy and memorable experience.  

Stacey Broughton - lead vocals

Simon Watson - keys, harmonies

Nigel Kimber - guitar

Bob Harley - bass

Paul Hudson – drums

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.

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。
