Pulse Chamber Ensemble: Seasons
Seasons will be presented by Pulse Chamber Ensemble in the luminous setting of the Global Change Institute Atrium.
Exploring cycles of change, renewal and transformation, this program reflects the natural world mirrored in the Atrium’s gardens and water features. The chamber format allows clarity, nuance and expressive depth — a contemplative conclusion to a weekend of large-scale and immersive sound.
About Music by the Lakes festival
7–10 May 2026
The University of Queensland (UQ) School of Music proudly presents Music by the Lakes festival – a vibrant, multi-day celebration of large-scale symphonic works, outdoor performance, chamber music, and bold new creativity. Set against some of the most striking architectural and natural spaces, from the grandeur of St John's Cathedral to the UQ lakeside amphitheatre and the award-winning Global Change Institute Atrium. The festival invites audiences to experience music in spaces that shape sound, atmosphere and meaning.
Across three days, audiences will encounter symphony orchestra and massed choirs, rolling outdoor concerts by wind, brass and percussion ensembles, world premieres by UQ composers, and intimate chamber conversations. This is music of all scales, music in landscape and music in architecture. Music by the Lakes.
