Members of the public are encouraged to attend for only $10 for adults, $8 for concesson and $3 for school-aged children, with tickets available at the door.

The CQUniversity Schools' Jazz Festival culminates in a Finale Concert featuring performances from all participating jazz bands, with around 200 young stars on show.  This year, the Festival has attracted bands from the Rockhampton and Yeppoon regions as well as groups from as far north as Mackay and as far south as Brisbane.

Throughout the concert, from 7pm on Sunday July 21 at the NRHS Assembly Hall, there will be additional performances from ensembles from the Bachelor of Music program at CQUniversity and the presentation of awards to outstanding soloists and sections. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for concesson and $3 for school-aged children.

This opportunity is presented by Yamaha Music Australia, Creative Capricorn, Queensland Music Festival, and the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music (CQCM) based at CQUniversity.
