PERFORM TOGETHER
Mainstage concerts and festival experiences
Extraordinary music. Shared experiences. Lasting connections.
At Southern Cross Soloists, we believe the most powerful musical moments happen when people come together.
Perform Together is the home of our flagship concert experiences—bringing internationally acclaimed artists, Australia's finest musicians and adventurous programming to audiences across Queensland. From our celebrated annual QPAC subscription series and special events to the SXS Chamber Music Festival, Perform Together showcases the artistry, creativity and excellence that have defined Southern Cross Soloists for more than three decades.
Every performance is an invitation to experience music as it was meant to be heard: live, shared and deeply human. Whether in a world-class concert hall, a heritage venue or beneath the breathtaking landscapes of regional Queensland, our performances celebrate the unique connection between artists and audiences that can only exist in the moment.
Our musicians are recognised among Australia's finest performers, educators and creative leaders. Together, they present repertoire spanning beloved masterworks, contemporary Australian compositions and bold new commissions, continually reimagining what chamber music can be for modern audiences.
Perform Together is founded on a simple belief: world-class music should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to presenting performances that are artistically ambitious, welcoming and affordable, ensuring audiences from every background have the opportunity to experience exceptional live music.
As one of Australia's leading chamber music ensembles, Southern Cross Soloists is equally committed to the future of Australian music. Through collaborations with composers, guest artists, festivals and cultural partners, we champion Australian creativity while celebrating the rich traditions of chamber music from around the world.
Southern Cross Soloists is committed not only to preserving the great chamber music tradition, but to shaping its future. Through the commissioning of new Australian works and enduring creative partnerships, we invest in the music of tomorrow while celebrating the voices of today. Our First Nations Commissioning Project—including the landmark Didgeridoo Commissioning Project (2022–2032)—places First Nations artists and stories at the heart of this vision, creating an enduring legacy of new repertoire that celebrates Australia's oldest living cultures and enriches the future of chamber music.
Whether you are discovering chamber music for the first time or returning as a lifelong supporter, every Southern Cross Soloists performance is an opportunity to be moved, inspired and connected through the shared experience of live music.
Because music isn't simply performed. It's experienced—together.
