Set amongst the most beautiful bushland in the heart of Noosa Junction, there is a welcoming presence to The J – one in which audiences as well as performers always feel at home in this architecturally designed and aesthetically pleasing venue.
Oriana Choir returns to The J and on Saturday 5 April, the full choir and band return for what promises to be a production of immense appeal – The Piano Men – A Celebration of Elton John and Billy Joel.
Just as Dancing Queen – The music of ABBA and Queen proved so successful in 2024, The Piano Men promises to be an unforgettable musical experience, Oriana president Melissa Innes said.
“The capacity of The J is such that as a performer you feel the audience are right there with you.
“When Oriana performed Dancing Queen last year at The J, the audience danced in aisles as far as our eye could see.
“It’s a vibrant, modern venue where the mezzanine adds another significant level for those hoping for an elevated experience.’’
The Piano Men, conducted by Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke and accompanied by the Oriana Band, will be presented at Matthew Flinders Performing Arts Complex in Buderim on Saturday 29 March, at 2pm.
There will be two performances at The J in Noosa Junction on Saturday 5 April, with concerts at 1.30pm and 7.30pm.
The Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, conducted by Annie Wilson, will be a part of the performance.
In a dynamic concert dedicated to the iconic music of Elton John and Billy Joel, audiences will be transported through the timeless hits and stirring melodies of two of the most influential musicians of our time.
The Piano Men promises a powerful performance featuring beloved classics such as Rocket Man, Uptown Girl, I’m Still Standing, and Always A Woman To Me.
These well-loved songs will come to life through the Oriana Choir’s rich harmonies under the vibrant, energetic direction of conductor Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke, and the accompaniment of the talented Oriana Band.
“We’re beyond excited to honour the legendary artistry of Elton John and Billy Joel,’’ Melissa Innes said.
“Their music has a special way of connecting people across generations, and we’re thrilled to bring that mastery to Sunshine Coaster audiences with this unique show.”
