Description

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Ever since there has been music, humanity has danced. So it stands to reason that dance music has its own secure place in the world. Come with us and experience the joy of dance music, from contemporary pieces like 'Twist and Shout' to more elegant tunes born in the classical era. You might recognise a gavotte, a jig or a waltz. You’ll definitely know the tunes that belong on a disco dance floor!

ABOUT SDSE

The Southern Downs String Ensemble is a wonderful combination of youth and experience, including students who are early in their musical journey and people who have made music their life. We welcome new members and practise on Mondays from 3.45pm to 5.15pm. A minimum of Grade 2 standard is preferred. Interested? Phone for more information: 0419 909 446.

The heart of art on the Granite Belt, Stanthorpe, Queensland.

Located in the heart of the Granite Belt Queensland, the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery tempts you to experience quality exhibitions of both national and local importance. An epicentre for all visual arts, the art gallery fosters a program of regional artist exhibitions and displays that are relevant to the history and character of the region.

The gallery, home to a permanent collection of almost 900 pieces, hosts specially curated exhibitions of traditional and contemporary paintings, works on paper, ceramics, sculpture, and fibre/ textile artworks.

This strong collection of noted artists’ works is sourced from acquisitions made during the biennial Stanthorpe Art Prize.

Quality national touring exhibitions encompass displays varying from contemporary textiles, ceramics, and painting to mixed media installations, on a wide range of contemporary subjects, including works by noted emerging and established Australian artists.

A program of exhibitions from the wider local arts community plays an integral part in the gallery’s professional development program and exposure of the visiting public to regional creative endeavours.
