One of Australia’s most formidable chamber music ensembles, Southern Cross Soloists has reimagined the live classical music experience since their establishment in Brisbane in 1995. The ensemble has helped set the benchmark for Australian chamber music and created a connected, enthusiastic and ever-growing audience, whom they continue to delight with their constantly evolving programs. Southern Cross Soloists has an unparalleled reputation for artistic excellence, and as trailblazers in the Australian classical music scene. An ensemble of individually talented and collectively powerful musicians, the Soloists come together to create something special each time they perform. Their performance style, perfected over the years, creates an intimate, inviting and deeply engaging experience. As Company in Residence at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), the ensemble enjoys a busy schedule of regional and national performances, and is regularly joined by visiting international artists. Southern Cross Soloists present an annual program of first-rate events, including their subscription concert series at QPAC, the Bangalow Music Festival, and their APRA award-winning education program. The ensemble seeks to incorporate new and innovative work every season, by means of special guest musicians, unique cross-art form collaborations, and a fluid repertoire selection. Despite the ensemble’s considerable success and critical acclaim, the Soloists approach each performance as a unique opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impression on the people that matter most – the audience members. Captivating audiences with music that is truly alive, the Soloists deliver exciting, enriching and uplifting performances that never disappoint.
