Queensland Symphony Orchestra

The Queensland Symphony Orchestra is proud to visit Atherton to perform a program
of wonderful music including Vivaldi’s best known piece, the popular Four Seasons,
and other great works for string orchestra. In Vivaldi’s time, orchestras commonly
performed with a violinist directing instead of a conductor. The performance follows
this tradition with QSO’s concertmaster, Warwick Adeney leading the QSO Join us for
live classical music on a grand scale. The event of the season, this will be a must see
for music lovers of all ages.
