Free entrance! Come and take a look around, or take a seat and enjoy!
At 12:30 pm on Wednesday, 7 October, the foyer of Queensland Conservatorium becomes an open concert hall for a specially curated programme celebrating music from the German-speaking cultural tradition.
Emerging Conservatorium musicians from strings, piano and voice will perform works by composers including Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert, Richard Wagner, Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Hugo Wolf. Curated by Graeme Jennings, Senior Lecturer in Violin and Viola at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, the concert brings together chamber music and song in one of South Bank’s most distinctive public performance spaces.
The foyer setting allows students, staff, visitors and members of the public to experience outstanding young musicians at close range in an informal and welcoming environment. More than a lunchtime recital, the concert places the next generation of Australian performers in direct conversation with repertoire that has shaped European musical life for generations.
The concert forms the daytime programme of German Music Day within Brisbane German Week 2026 and reflects the wider purpose of the project: connecting artistic education, public access and cultural exchange.
Free entry. No booking required.
