Brisbane’s iconic music scene will be celebrated with 24 days of free live music acts as Queensland prepares to welcome the world’s leaders for the G20 Summit. From October 24 to November 16, hundreds of Queensland’s most talented musicians will take to stages across the city and suburbs of Brisbane to perform solo, collaborative and one-off shows as part of the G20 Cultural Celebrations. For the full program visit below. There will be 4,000 delegates and about 3,000 media who will visit Brisbane during the G20, making it a once in a generation opportunity for Queensland... The economic boost to Brisbane alone will be $100 million, so the flow-on effects to Queensland generally will be enormous. The G20 is really something to celebrate and this free music program allows us to do just that. More than 50 free music events will use a variety of Brisbane’s performance spaces from established music venues, special concert halls such as St John’s Cathedral and the Old Museum, to more unconventional and suburban locations including Yeronga Pool and Sandgate Town Hall. Among the huge line-up of free events on offer: · Brisbane singer-songwriter Emma Louise will play the Hi-Fi on October 25, off the back of achieving international chart-toppers throughout Europe. · Rockhampton blues and roots duo Busby Marou will hit the suburbs for a special performance with Jackie Marshall on Thursday 6 November at Bramble Bay Bowls club. · Acclaimed opera soprano Maggie Noonan will feature in a series of concerts at St John’s Cathedral, including A Prayer for Peace, on November 4. The concert will also include original works by Tyrone Noonan, world renowned didgeridoo player William Barton, and acclaimed Tibetan musician Tenzin Choegyal, all accompanied by the Camerata of St John’s.
