“Queensland Symphony Orchestra is a wonderful cultural asset of this state, and importantly it is accessible. We belong to all Queenslanders, and we are thrilled to be able to share the gift of music through this live, free outdoor event. This is the beginning of what will be an annual outdoor orchestral concert, and we invite you, your family and your friends to enjoy!” she said.
The program is set to open with the thunderous and well-known Fanfare for the Common Man by Copland, followed by Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. As the night unfolds, the audience will be taken on a musical journey through different ages, from Dvořák’s lively Carnival Overture to Delius’s serene Summer Evening. The performance continues with the intricate Symphonic Minutes by Dohnányi and the exuberant Capriccio Italien by Tchaikovsky. The concert will conclude with Glinka’s thrilling Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila.
