There is nothing.
I’ve looked assiduously in every potential corner, wherever information could be assimilated, assessed, obscured.
But in January, no musical activity worth the name is being presented in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.
It makes me long for the Organs of the Ballarat Goldfields that has shrunk from its previous impressive substance to a few days’ shadow of its former self. And the Mornington Peninsula Summer Festival is spreading itself even more thinly these days. But at least both these events promise something.
Not north of the Tweed.
For your cultural input, perhaps Sydney may offer something with its Festival. From what I can see, a couple of contemporary operas and a chamber concert would seem to be the main (only?) offerings.
The nation is on holiday, but nowhere more seriously inactive than in the land of the Where-The-Bloody-Hell-Are-You?
Better luck for us all next month.
