Queensland Symphony Orchestra has announced its 2026 Feel Every Note season at QPAC, offering a substantial program for Wynnum-Manly residents looking for major orchestral performances within Brisbane.
The season will move between familiar works from the classical canon and newer Australian music, with the orchestra promising bold expression, musical storytelling and a focus on composers who challenged convention. The program also includes world-leading soloists and conductors, audience-curated repertoire, gala performances and a showcase of video game soundtracks.
Listed programs include La Mer, with music by Debussy, Ravel, Shostakovich and Australian composer Ross Edwards Stanhope, and Symphonic Dances, featuring works by Rachmaninov and Dvořák. Scheherazade will combine Rimsky-Korsakov’s well-known orchestral work with Grieg’s Piano Concerto and Ella Macens’ Release.
Other highlights include The Wonder of Animation, built around film scores from Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story and Up, as well as programs pairing Beethoven and Mendelssohn with Salina Fisher’s Murmuring Light. The season finale is listed as Don Juan & Manfred, featuring Richard Strauss’ Don Juan and Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony.
Individual concert dates, times, ticket prices and detailed venue information were not included in the supplied announcement.
