Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.     BUY TICKETS         Queensland InterVarsity Choirs Assn.

QUMS proudly presents its end of semester 2 concert: A Celtic Odyssey. Join us for an afternoon of musical delights as we go through the journey of the Celts from their origin, their diaspora and their present day contemporary counterpart. You will be treated with wonderful Gaelic & Irish tunes, modern folk songs and more! Featuring well-known traditional tunes such as Danny Boy and Wild Mountain Thyme arr. Gordon Hamilton, contrasting with popular folk songs like Zombie and 500 Miles! All set in the magical space of Princess Theatre, in which QUMS has never performed before. And why not grab a drink while enjoying our beautiful voices? There will be a Cash Bar in the theatre and you can grab a beer, wine or soft drinks for an affordable price :) Note that we can only accept cash payment on the spot, but there is an ATM at the Princess Plaza next door to the theatre. After the concert finishes around 4.30 PM, join us for an afternoon tea with the choristers in the theatre.   Guest artist: The City of Brisbane Pipe Band! The City of Brisbane Pipe Band is a local non-profit community group, comprising around 25 enthusiastic players who continue this ancient Scottish tradition in sunny Australia today. Formed in 1950, the band proudly wears the McNeill of Barra tartan; plays regularly in local parades, gigs, concerts and festivals; and is an active part of the local piping community, competing in Grade 4 at competitions up and down Australia’s east coast.   Directions to Princess Theatre - 8 Annerley Road, Woolloongabba Parking The closest parking is at the Princess Plaza underground parking (Princess Parking). The entrance to the underground parking is right next to the Plaza (see the map below).

QUMS is honoured to be paying tribute to the great Dr. Colin Brumby (18 June 1933 – 3 January 2018), with a concert in his honour, commemorating and celebrating his work and his service to not only QUMS and UQ, but to the entire Australian music-loving population. Dovetailing into the 4MBS Festival-of-Classics, the concert will take place at 7pm on Saturday 2nd June, at the GHD Auditorium, UQ St.Lucia Campus. Colin was a well-known presenter on 4MBS Classic-FM, and has a long history with both 4MBS and QUMS. Colin directed the Queensland University Musical Society (QUMS) choir from 1965-6 and 1978-86, often conducting his wife Jenny Dawson, herself a UQ music alumna and QUMS president of the early 70s, who performed as a soprano soloist. Colin and his compositions were so loved by QUMS that when past members heard that he had passed-on, they rang each other, singing from his "Charlie Bubble’s Book of Hours", a favourite performed many times by QUMS, notably with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in 1970 with the composer himself at the helm. It was during his second term as Musical Director of QUMS that in 1981, Colin was awarded an Advance Australia Award for service to music. Colin made many of his published and unpublished sacred vocal works freely available to churches around the world, an act typical of his kind and generous character. His service to The University of Queensland through his lecturing and his work with QUMS has created a legacy passed on to hundreds of music students Friends, Alumni, and lovers of his music are invited to join with us we commemorate and pay tribute to a truly remarkable composer. Free Parking is available in the Parking block closest to the GHD Auditorium (with a short walk around the pond).
