4mbs festival of classics

The annual 4MBS Festival of Classics is Australia’s largest classical music festival, proudly highlighting Queensland musicians. The 2021 theme ‘Beethoven & Friends’ weaves through over 20 performances in cultural and community spaces across Brisbane.

The Festival opens on 23 May, launching with a ‘Beethoven Marathon’ of his beloved powerful works, performed by the exuberant Ensemble Q. The following fortnight of events will feature Beethoven’s grand 9th Symphony (including ‘Ode To Joy’), plus charming chamber music performed by the exceptional musicians of Camerata, Opus 5, and more, in intimate recitals and a sumptuous dinner concert. Superb pianists venture out for ‘Sonatas in the Suburbs’ and award-winning actor Eugene Gilfedder brings the dramatic words of Beethoven to life in his play ‘Beethoven’s Letters.’

Queensland’s top opera stars will end the festival on a high note, joining forces with the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra in a lush ‘Opera Spectacular’ in the splendour of City Hall on Queensland Day, 6 June.

about the festival 

Every year in May/June, 4MBS Classic FM produces the 4MBS Festival of Classics - Australia's largest classical music festival. Orchestras, choirs, ensembles and soloists from south-east Queensland perform concerts centred around a theme - whether it be to mark the anniversaries of specific composers, or simply celebrate the wonderful music that has come out of a particular location. Past themes have included Great Russian Masters, the British Connection, the Glory of Vienna, the French Connection and many more.

On average, the Festival features 20-30 concerts in  10-15 venues, predominantly in Brisbane but throughout south-east Queensland. The Festival also extends to the airwaves, where we broadcast featured music programs surrounding that year's theme.
