2007 |
Welcome to MUSIC @ ST MARY’S 2007... inspirational and reflective music
performed in the intimacy of historic St Mary’s |
 |
In its 2nd year, Music at St Mary’s offers another marvellous menu of musical performances to lift the spirit and soothe the soul. The opening concert by innovative young Brisbane ensemble COLLUSION sets the tone for a series which combines the new with the old. As custodians of Queenslands oldest organ, we are delighted that concert proceeds will help rejuvenate this treasured instrument. |
| Please join us, discover St Mary’s, be musically surprised, and share a
post-concert drink with friends
and artists on the lawns.
