ABOUT
This enterprising Brisbane-based chamber ensemble performs delightful vocal works by composers
from the nineteenth century, including Schumann, Brahms, Schubert, Massenet and Rossini.
Performed in sumptuous heritage venues such as Old Government House, the music of Soirées
Musicales Quintette evokes a magical nostalgia, while also bringing fresh life to rarely-heard
repertoire.

May, 2023:
We've had a busy time in the recording studio! SMQ have been commissioned by the State Library of Queensland to record 40 previously unrecorded songs, piano and violin pieces by Queensland composers from the early-to-mid 20th century. We've had a wonderful time documenting these charming Aussie melodies, assisted by Geoff McGahan at Mark McDuff's stunning 'Farmhouse Studio' in Chandler.
