Adapted from interviews given by the legendary pianist and interspersed with short piano pieces by Schubert, Schuman, Brahms, Beethoven and Bach, this humorous, passionate and highly entertaining account of one the most remarkable musical achievements of the 20th century will transport audiences back to the morale-boosting recitals at Londons National Gallery which Dame Myra produced during World War II. Direct from the UK and for the first time in Australia, Admission: One Shilling will delight audiences with its unique power to uplift the human spirit. |

The new jetty finally allows ferry services independent of tide restrictions and a leisurely day visit is now an option.
To celebrate we join the Palm Island community for a day of relaxed entertainment. Departing the Breakwater Ferry Terminal in Townsville at 11:00am, we cruise to Palm Island, hoping the whales will appear along the way.
Arriving at approximately 12:30pm we will be greeted and have lunch.
The concert will start at 3:00pm so there will be time for getting acquainted with the history and natural beauty of the island and its spectacular setting.
The concert will feature AFCM musicians the charismatic William Barton (didjeridu/guitar), the brilliant New York based Yousif Sheronick (percussion) and Brisbane’s energetic Camerata of St John’s. They will be joined by some talented locals! |
