Music to flood the senses 

Published on 12 April, 2011 

Orchestral and symphonic music will flow throughout St Paul's Cathedral from 6.30pm on Wednesday, April 20, when 100 Central Queensland secondary school musicians dedicate their concert performance to CQ flood families.

The concert, which sold out last year, will be the culmination of a week-long intensive music workshop in April (16-21) organised by the Southern Cross Soloists and known as the SunWater and Stanwell Music School.

It includes symphony orchestra, symphonic band, massed choir, stage band, chamber music groups, and brass, string and percussion ensembles.

"Music influences our moods and we sincerely hope that the 2011 finale recital will help to lift the collective spirit of Rockhampton and Central Queensland," said organiser Sara Bannon.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via Southern Cross Soloists. Learn more at www.southernxsoloists.com/

Southern Cross Soloists, one of Australia's leading chamber music ensembles, has a strong commitment to furthering music education in Australia, particularly in regional Queensland. In addition to the annual music camp in Rockhampton, they hold other masterclasses and workshops for young adults.
