Classical music and abstract art

LOCALS are invited to an afternoon of classical music and contemporary art on Sunday 26 July to help raise funds for the children’s programs at the Noosa Regional Art Gallery.
Opera singer Hans-Georg Wimmer along with abstract artist Thomas Sydow will showcase their talents on the day for an afternoon of culture, classical music and fun.
Wimmer will perform German romantic songs by composers such as Franz Schubert, Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss with John Wood on the piano.
An exhibition by Sydow will accompany the classical music.
Sydow’s work has been described as colourful and multi-layered abstract works and by using the refined technique of sgraffito, he creates unique colour-oscillating effects on mediums such as canvas, handmade paper and bark.
The classical concert will be held at the Cooran Hall on Sunday 26 July from 3pm. Tickets are $35 per person with children under 16 free.
All proceeds from the sale of tickets will go directly to the Noosa Regional Art gallery children’s art programs.
