Concerts 2006
Welcome to MUSIC @ ST MARY’S, an exciting new concert initiative featuring leading Australian musicians performing in the serene beauty of historic St Mary’s.

Enabled by the recent donation of a Boston Grand Piano, this series will support the restoration of QUEENSLAND’S OLDEST ORGAN.
