CQUniversity lecturer Kim Kirkman recently joined local school music specialist David Bayliss and visiting composer Sarah Hopkins to conduct Divine Kitchen Experience events, as part of Mackay's Arts Festival.

Sarah Hopkins later showcased her peformance skills with hand bells and specially created 'harmonic whirlies' for a show at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music on Mackay Campus.

Mr Kirkman will continue his association with the Festival on Sunday, when he is due to play harp and viola in a violin/viola duo for the Adifern Long Table Dinner at ArtSpace Mackay.

Meanwhile, our Rockhampton-based Bachelor of Music students will head north on July 24 to perform jazz favourites during the Festival's Wine and Food Day and the associated Supper Club concert headlined by Frankie J Holden and Wilbur Wilde.

Students from the Bachelor of Theatre program were also involved with the Witsunday Literary Festival at Whitsunday Anglican School.
