The QSO comes to Buderim

Actually the Queensland Symphony Orchestra ventures out of Brisbane quite a lot, and the Sunshine Coast is a relatively easy bus ride away, compared with so many of the other bits of Queensland they have to get to.

They presented a collection of fine pieces, mostly well known classics, all conforming to the theme: 'Hymn to Mother Earth'.

The venue was the rather fine concert hall of one of the rather well-resourced local private schools.

It was an excellent evening out.

 

Of special interest for me was watching for the first time two old acquaintances from my days in Tasmania. Both are sons of good friends of mine, and both somehow ended up as professional musicians, playing with the same orchestra. They acquitted themselves well, needless to say.
