Be transported to this enchanting city of dreams in a program that explores the allure and pull of the most romantic city in the world, Paris. A city that intrigues, beguiles and enamours like no other, Paris has kindled rich inspiration for composers of all nationalities from across the globe, making it an essential mecca for creativity for centuries.
City of Lights: From Paris, with Love explores this elusive magical essence that inspired composers such as Gluck, Mozart and Prokofiev as well as the revered French masters Debussy and Ravel.
Southern Cross Soloists (SXS) is joined by SXS Artist in Residence Konstantin Shamray as well as violinist Courtenay Cleary, Portuguese flute soloist David Silva, and young Brisbane-born cello soloist Guillaume Wang, who has just recently returned from living in Paris.

Southern Cross Soloists (SXS) are the stars of Australian chamber music. Since 1995, SXS have firmly established themselves as one of Australia’s pre-eminent classical music ensembles.
In 2022, SXS will deliver a program of intoxicating virtuosity in its 13th QPAC Concert Series as a Company in Residence at QPAC. Composed of leading virtuosic soloists from across Australia, SXS creates and performs dynamic, unique, and world-class musical experiences for audiences of all ages.
SXS are committed to nurturing First Nation's representation in their arts practices to promote cultural understanding. Their renewed focus for 2022-2032 is to respond to this commitment by creating the ‘SXS Didgeridoo Commission Project': a legacy of new Australian works for didgeridoo and small ensemble with our Artist in Residence, Wakka Wakka didgeridoo soloist Chris Williams.
For their 2022 Season, Southern Cross Soloists will commission three new 8-10 minute works for didgeridoo and small ensemble to be premiered in their 2022 QPAC Concert Series. These commissions form part of a legacy project that is committed to creating a substantial canon of works for didgeridoo and small ensemble over the next 10 years.
