Harking back to the days of the speakeasy bars, this gem of a venue is the setting for five very special, intimate Ensemble Q concerts in 2025. Enter the room through a Narnia-inspired wardrobe and dissolve yourself in an evening of good company and incredible music played just for you by some of the finest musicians in Australia. Bring friends or make new ones, everyone is welcome.

This series is consistently sold out (months in advance) and there are strictly limited seats so you will need to be quick to get your tickets.

Adult $85 Concession $70

Venue: Mrs J Rabbits, upstairs at Electric Avenue, 23 Logan Road, Woollongabba.

Time: Tuesday evenings, doors open at 6.20pm for a 7pm performance

Seating is unallocated, however there are two 6-7 person booths that can be pre-booked by emailing ensembleqaustralia@gmail.com. Please purchase your tickets first and we will reserve the table for you if it’s available. Minimum 6 people for the booth booking.

Parking: Tuesday nights are very quiet so there should be plenty of street parking right outside Electric Avenue and in the local area.

Access is by a set of stairs with no disability access, with apologies.

Individual concert details

TWO'S COMPANY - 11 FEBRUARY What better way to start the year than with the love-bird directors, Trish & Paul Dean. But there's no soppiness here, they'll be performing the world premiere of Trish's new daring arrangement of the Ravel duo, along with the soothing sounds of Bach.

OLD FRIENDS - 8 APRIL One of Australia's most adored jazz musicians and composers, Joe Chindamo has been friends with Trish for 20 years and they unite in swarthy tango-infused dimly lit evening of Piazzolla and others played on accordion & cello, joined by Paul Dean and Phoebe Russell. Anything can happen at this one.

BACH AT THE BAR, ARRANGED - 27 MAY Oboe, clarinet and bassoon unite in an exquisite take on Bach’s organ sonatas, the cello takes on the Chaconne, the bassoon steals a cello prelude and the oboe stands alone in a flute sonata. This will be special.

WHEN HARRY MET PHOEBE - 23 SEPTEMBER When Harry met Phoebe a special friendship was born. These two incredibly gifted, virtuosic players hold top jobs in the QSO and SSO, so don't get to play together nearly enough. We're fixing that.

HARPING ON - 14 OCTOBER Australia's newest darling of the harp, Emily Granger presents a stunning program of ethereal harpiness, entertainingly delivered and joined by oboist Huw Jones and flautist Alison Mitchell for a few very special duos.
