Handel’s Messiah (arranged by Mozart)
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.

Ben Abraham’s Christmas Special
with special Guests
It’s beginning to look a lot like ... Ben Abraham!
The Old Museum is delighted to announce the return of award-winning Melbourne-raised, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter, who brings his beloved Christmas Special home this December for an unmissable headline show.
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 Saturday 20 December at 8pm.
Joined by a few surprise guests (previous years have featured appearances from Vance Joy, Gotye and more), Ben’s 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 ‘carols by candlelight’ 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.
In 2024, Ben released his festive EP Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Volume 1, featuring a lush rendition of ‘Let It Snow’ with longtime friend and collaborator Lily James, alongside a string of sold-out Christmas concerts across New York, Los Angeles, Melbourne and Sydney.

harry manx
Presented by silver sonic
Harry Manx is returning to Australia with a brand new album to share!
The New York Times called him ‘deliciously addictive’ and said when you listen to Harry Manx ‘you are listening to an original.’ Seven time Maple Blues award winner, Folk Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, six Juno nominations.....welcome to the Harry Zone. Harry Manx has spent years fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, and banjo and the decidedly different Mohan veena, a 20-stringed instrument invented by Manx’ Indian mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.
Manx is often referred to as the “Mysticssippi” Blues Man because musically Harry lives where the depth of Indian music meets the deep groove of the Blues. Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist and keeps audiences coming back for more.
Downbeat Magazine said that “Manx’s real talent lies in creating a place where Blues and Indian Classical are a seamless fit”.
Billboard Magazine called Harry “Canada’s most expressive Blues player”.
“Watching Harry play tonight I feel like I learned something new …. ”
Bruce Springsteen (after seeing Harry perform “I’m On Fire” at the International Guitar Festival in NYC)
“Harry’s real skill lays in creating a rare musical place where blues, country, folk and Indian classical music co-exist as some spirit force”

Eric Bibb and Band
Presented by RoadTales
Three-time Grammy-nominated blues legend Eric Bibb returns to Australia with his first full-band tour since early 2023, celebrating his groundbreaking new album One Mississippi (out January 2026).
Expect the complete live experience: Bibb’s unmistakable voice and storytelling, backed by a powerhouse trio featuring Staffan Astner on guitar (Celine Dion, Ray Charles), Glen Scott (musical director and bass) and former “forever drummer” for Nina Simone, Paul Robinson. Together, they bring One Mississippi to life in all its soulful, socially conscious and musically adventurous glory. The set blends new material, including the infectious first single “This One Don’t”, with beloved songs from Bibb’s rich catalogue and a few surprises saved for Australian audiences.
Known for concerts that are intimate, passionate and profoundly human, Bibb now expands that warmth into a dynamic, rhythm-filled celebration of peace, justice and unity. Don’t miss one of contemporary blues’ most inspiring artists at the height of his creative powers.
One of the most relevant, leading bluesmen of our time, Eric Bibb continues to evolve and enhance his global reputation as a fiery singer- songwriter with true soul, grounded in the folk/blues tradition but with contemporary sensibilities.
To experience Eric live is to be struck by his sheer humanity and convictions based in the values of the civil rights movement of the sixties. His music works in service of that dream, holding out a hope for a new world. He challenges us to do better, to reach higher, and strive harder. Like Mavis and Pops Staples, he wants to take us there.

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”

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.
PROGRAM:
O’Boyle | Concerto for Didgeridoo

Brisbane Symphony Orchestra - Regency & Reformation
Presented by Brisbane SYMPHONY Orchestra
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
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.

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.

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。

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.

JMI Jazz Orchestra - Led by Joshua Hatcher
The JMI Jazz Orchestra is an 18-piece big band made of up of students and staff from the Jazz Music Institute. Led by saxophonist and JMI senior lecturer Joshua Hatcher, the JMI Jazz Orchestra pays tribute to the incredible music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie and other seminal composers and arrangers of big band music. Through performing the music of these legends gives the students a strong foundation of understanding the breadth of Big Band music. The JMI Jazz Orchestra performs regularly around Brisbane at various locations and community festivals including Big Band Blast and Brisbane Big Band Festival.
INTERFAK Big Band - Led by Professor Bart Preneel
The Interfak Big Band, led by Professor Bart Preneel, began in 1984 as an ensemble for engineering student revues. Since 1986, it has recruited musicians from all faculties at the University of Leuven, Belgium—hence the "Interfac(ultary)" name.
The band regularly tours internationally, having performed throughout Europe, the USA, Rio de Janeiro, and Singapore. Their repertoire spans classical big band (Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller), jazz standards (Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker), contemporary works (Randy Brecker, Pat Metheny, Bob Mintzer), and original compositions by members like Bob Grietens, Karel Goddaer, and Nele Ghijs.
