Maryborough to host free orchestra concert

Fraser Coast music lovers will have the opportunity to see a world class youth orchestra perform in a free concert at the Brolga Theatre in Maryborough next week (Monday 27 June).

Mayor George Seymour said the Queensland Youth Philharmonic Orchestra is a 70 member symphony orchestra which has been formed for regional touring.

“The orchestra members range in age from 10 to 24 and play a broad range of popular classical repertoire from the baroque period through to the current day,” he said.

“This should be a fantastic concert and I encourage everyone to make the most of the opportunity to see some of the state’s most talented young musicians performing for free in our region.”

Cr Seymour said the Fraser Coast had a colourful and vibrant cultural life, and Council was keen to ensure the community had opportunities to appreciate arts, heritage and cultural diversity.

“Free live music is an important part of the Fraser Coast lifestyle and the orchestra initiative builds on other successful events such as the Brolga Live events that have been held in small communities right throughout the region and Food n Groove in Hervey Bay,” he said.

The Queensland Youth Philharmonic Orchestra free community concert is being held from 1pm to 2pm on Monday 27 June at the Brolga Theatre in Maryborough. No tickets are required.
