Overview

QPAC’s longest running event Spirit of Christmas returns this December to the iconic QPAC Concert Hall.

Three musical theatre stars Stefanie Jones (MARY POPPINS, Muriel’s Wedding The Musical, The Sound of Music), Marcus Corowa (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, The Sunshine Club, Bran Nue Dae), and Daniel Belle (Les Misérables, The Ten Tenors), along with vocal quartet Sounds of AustraNesia will headline our most celebrated concert of the year, beautifully supported by the Queensland Youth Orchestra, conducted by Simon Kenway, and the exquisite voices of the QPAC Chamber Choir and Voices of Birralee.

QPAC’s Spirit of Christmas is a celebration of the true meaning of the festive season; an occasion to rejoice and reflect on the year that has passed and embrace the season’s enduring message of Peace, Love and Joy.

Update: Due to the current flooding in Cairns, Sounds of AustraNesia artists Jonathan Imani and Merindi Schrieber will no longer be able to perform at Spirit of Christmas. We are excited to confirm that the following artists will be performing as part of the quartet:
Vainetutai (Bubba) Tamaiva Tou, Nikki Doll, Rubina Kimiia and special guest Marcus Corowa
