Lord Mayor’s City Hall Concerts presents Songs and Waltzes of Yesteryear Queensland.
Performed by Soirées Musicales Quintette featuring Annie Lower – soprano, Rachael Griffin – soprano, Mattias Lower – tenor, Leon Warnock – baritone and Peter Roennfeldt – piano, hear songs about Queensland by those who lived here, a program of attractive music from yesteryear.
Every song has a story, but many favourites are not often heard today. Soirées Musicales Quintette helps to fill this gap, by reviving salon music from the early twentieth century. This concert features delightful songs about place including 'In-doo-roo-pilly', the 'Sandgate waltz’ and the 'Redcliffe March'. Other big hits by local songwriters such as Hilda Maclean and Billy Maloney were in honour of eminent visitors including the Prince of Wales and Kingsford Smith. Join us for a trip down a very local memory lane!
This Lord Mayor’s City Hall Concert is produced by Salubrious Productions.
