Overview

Come and meet Queensland Symphony Orchestra and embark on an action-packed musical journey.

Composer and presenter Paul Rissmann will be live on stage to guide your young music lovers through the concert experience culminating in a performance of Leon and the Place Between.

This interactive musical tale follows a young magician and is jam-packed with mystery and wonder.
