Queensland Music Festival 2013

Overview

The Queensland Music Festival may not be totally encompassing of the music currently being made in Queensland; perhaps its more of a celebration of music, which is something we can certainly get behind. Regardless, if you aren’t into the big swing of jazz or the soaring sounds of orchestral music, you might think this isn’t for you. Think again! Here are a couple of our favourite events.

Esperanto is a series of shows bringing together differing styles of music, creating a blend of worldly sounds that are as exotic as they come, but with a flavour that everyone can enjoy. Check out Mzaza, The Mouldy Lovers and more at the Esperanto series at The Powerhouse.

If you are a fan of Pitch Perfect-style a capella and smooth RnB rhythm, listen to Take 6. These cool cats are a multiplatinum-selling, Gammy Award-winning, universally praised group of singers who can make any song come to life with just their voices. This is probably the coolest event of the QMF calendar. It’s so smooth, so cool, so worth seeing.

There are a lot of hidden gems at this years Queensland Music Festival. Have a look at their calendar — there might be something for you.
