MACKAY – SYMPHONY UNDER THE STARS

The opening night of the 2015 Mackay Festival of Arts brings you the Queensland Symphony Orchestra under the stars, presenting a program of wonderful music including Vivaldi’s best known piece, the popular Four Seasons, and other great works for string orchestra.

Held at Meadowlands Amphitheatre in the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens, this free twilight concert will be a must-see event for music lovers of all ages.

In Vivaldi’s time, orchestras commonly performed with a violinist directing instead of a conductor. This performance will follow that tradition with former QSO, now Australian Chamber Orchestra violinist and Mackay local, Glenn Christensen returning home as soloist to lead the QSO musicians.

Bring a picnic blanket or deck chair to settle in for live classical music on the grandest scale. Food is available on-site thanks to the Lions Club.
