In her second free concert of this series, Judith is planning an evening to showcase the best of Broadway - from the passion of West Side Story to the fantastic world of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats.

So who is Stuart? The concert will feature the Stuart piano - the CQCM's pride and joy; a handmade innovative instrument which was the 9th of its kind to be made to order in Australia.

The excellent quality of sound is attributed to the innovative design in attaching the piano strings to the soundboard, resulting in a piano that sounds unlike any other.

Joining Judith on stage will be a selection of local musicians, including fellow lecturer at the CQCM, Kim Kirkman, Beth Allen, Karen Blair and students from the Bachelor of Music Theatre program.

Sounding like a superb evening of top-class entertainment?  Well why not get along at 6pm to the CQCM theatre for this wonderful free concert!
