Queensland Ballet Academy Summer Soirée
#An extraordinary showcase of dance, art and music
Queensland Ballet Academy presents Summer Soirée – a sophisticated performance experience combining dance, art and music in collaboration with Philip Bacon Galleries and internationally-acclaimed Australian artist, Tim Storrier AM.
Artistically stimulating and exclusively chic, this unique event will be a stunning fusion of Storrier’s works with original neo-classical and contemporary choreography by Natalie Weir, Paul Boyd and Louise Deleur, performed by Queensland Ballet Academy dancers to music performed by Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra.
An extraordinary showcase of Australian art, Australian choreographers and Australia’s emerging dance talent, Summer Soirée promises to offer a classy, uniquely Australian event.
