As the year flies by the time is approaching for us to get ready for ‘ VIRTUOSIS’ - the QMO’s annual mid-year concert, which this year will be held at 2pm on Sunday 14th July at The Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre (Queensland Ballet) in West End. This performance is always the highlight of our musical calendar, as we undertake more challenging repertoire from the canon of classical music. Moreover, we are delighted to be featuring the virtuosic talents of some amazing musicians within the QMO Family. This year will be no exception! I am excited to announce that we will be performing the following repertoire at this year’s concert:
PLUS, we will be joined by the QMC to perform the following:
The QMC will also be perform an arrangement of songs by Adele from her album ’21’ , including ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Rolling In The Deep’!
I’m sure you agree - playing these pieces is going to make for a fantastic concert. Sure, it will be a challenge for us, but for 15 years now I have seen the QMO rise to the challenge at every concert, so I have great faith in our collective abilities!
Proceeds from this concert will be going to Parkinson’s Queensland, who provide information, support and education for people living with Parkinson’s Disease, their carers, families and the broader community.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join our ranks; we have open door policy and there are no auditions - as long as you think you are able to play the music to a reasonable standard, then we'd love to have you! In view of the challenging nature of the repertoire, please note that you must at least attend majority (4 out of 6) of the rehearsals to be able to play in the concert. See below for rehearsal dates and how to register for the rehearsal and concerts.
If you are unable to attend the rehearsals, but would still like to help out on the concert day, we are constantly looking for helpers with front of house, as well staging. If you are able to help out, please register to be a volunteer on the day via the same registration link as the players/singer below.
Tickets will soon be on sale via QTIX, the link will be up on the website and our Facebook page when it has been set up. Posters will be available for distribution at our first rehearsal.
We hope you will be joining us for this wonderful showcase of the talent within the QMO Family. The Talbot Theatre at Thomas Dixon is also an amazing space with the latest state-of-art facilities, we are as excited to perform there as they are to have us! Please spread the word and help recruit as many QMO Family members as possible to play at this not to be missed concert.
