Free live music doesn’t get much better than the Dusk Recitals. Pop a blanket down near the sea at Justins Park in Burleigh Heads and enjoy an intimate sunset session concert every Friday and Saturday evening of BLEACH* Festival. The weekend of November 13–14 will see Noonuccal/Nooghie/Kombumerri opera singer Myora Kruger serenade audiences alongside special guests, while November 20–21 will feature trumpeter, didgeridoo player and descendant of the Wakka Wakka people Chris Williams, in concert with renowned chamber music ensemble the Southern Cross Soloists (SXS). Music in the ears and the twinkling stars above make for a perfect spring evening on the Gold Coast.
