Presented by Queensland Symphony Orchestra and Cairns Regional Council

A night of music beneath the stars in Cairns with Queensland Symphony Orchestra

As evening settles over Munro Martin Parklands, a symphony of music will rise into the night sky. Join Queensland Symphony Orchestra for an unforgettable evening of live orchestral music under the stars, where passion, power, and beauty come together in this spectacular concert.

Conductor Nil Venditti leads QSO through a program of bold contrasts and vibrant textures. At its heart is Copland’s Clarinet Concerto, performed by QSO Section Principal Irit Silver, a work of spacious lyricism and jazzy rhythmic drive. The concert also features playful gems from Bernstein and Gershwin, two jubilant movements from Tchaikovsky’s Polish Symphony, a world premiere from QSO Compose alumnus (and Atherton local) Jonathan Platz, and more.

Pack a picnic, bring your family and friends, and be swept away by the magic of Queensland Symphony Orchestra in the heart of Cairns.
