A Night in the JOL - the community music spirit in Queensland

By JOL Admin | 6 June 2013

Come along to the latest free event in our regular A Night in the JOL series next Wednesday night, 12 June, from 6.00p-8.00pm. Join the lively evening forum with Dr. Brydie-Leigh Bartleet and Professor Peter Roennfeldt from the Queensland Conservatorium in conversation with Dr Kate Evans, ABC Radio National.  Discussion will centre on community music making and its importance in the lives of Queenslanders from colonial times to now. Treasures from the John Oxley Library will be on display, including photographs, programmes, posters, scores and memorabilia from music makers and music lovers throughout Queensland’s history.
