Music Meets Environment
Monday 7th July7:30pm
Join us at Riverway Arts Centre in Thuringowa as three leading scientists present talks on topical environmental issues concerning the reef and local rainforest. In a welcome return to the Festival, the community based Barrier Reef Orchestra will be conducted by the Festival's Composer-in-Residence, Carl Vine, performing his Suite from The Battlers. He will also conduct Piers Lane in a perfomance of Gerald Finzi's Eclogue for piano and string orchestra. Emerging artists from the Winterschool will perform music they have refined with the festival artists in masterclasses during the Festival. The night will be an entertaining and informative evening showcasing all things AFCM and North Queensland! |
In recognition of the International Year of the Reef in 2008, the AFCM combines its popular Reef Talk series with a concert that highlights the Townsville-based Barrier Reef Orchestra, Piers Lane, Carl Vine and some of Australia's brightest emerging artists.
