A Symphony of Sound and Structure: GCCO Performs at Bond’s Abedian School
This October, the Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra will bring classical music into one of the Gold Coast’s most striking spaces — the Abedian School of Architecture at Bond University. Known for its soaring, cathedral-like interior designed by Sir Peter Cook and Gavin Robotham, the venue offers a stunning blend of beauty and acoustics.
Music cognition expert Professor Bill Thompson notes that such reverberant spaces “blur and blend with the strings to create a richer, more complex—and aesthetically very pleasing—sound.” Violinist Margaret Blades agrees, praising the way the architecture enhances delicate instrument pairings and highlights the mathematical elegance of Bach.
Program Highlights
Bach concertos for violin and oboe, led by Margaret Blades and Tania Frazer
Special performance by Vox Bond choir, featuring a masterpiece by Finnish composer Pekka Kostiainen
