Ensemble Q. Concert Hall, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Brisbane. 30 April 2023
The expanse of QPAC’s Concert Hall was magically converted into an underwater aquarium for QPAC’s company in residence, Ensemble Q, and their programme of music inspired by the sea, Deep Blue. With blue and green lights filling the usual seating area, the audience took their places in the more intimate reversed space under the venue’s huge pipe organ, overlooking a smaller, studio-like stage. It was an inspired way to showcase a selection of eclectic musical pieces.
