Why I read Limelight
“As a musician living in the UK but directing a festival in Australia, Limelight Magazine is an absolute must have! I really love the mix of fast news, in-depth features and of course all the info on who is doing what. I frequently take it on my travels, without any doubt, and really enjoy catching up with all events Down Under. Reading it from Europe, Limelight quickly makes any distance disappear and I certainly wouldn’t want to be without it.”

Reviews
★★★★☆ MAGICAL CONNECTIONS
The AFCM bids a fond farewell to Kathryn Stott’s first Festival as Artistic Director in a lavish, three-act gala.
★★★★½ LOVE LETTERS
Musical love notes written in everything from chansons to tango – and an eight-cello Tristan.
★★★★☆ GYPSIES, PIPERS AND DUKES
Pavel Fischer’s Mad Piper captivates Townsville in a lavish feast of folk-inspired music.
★★★★½ SUBLIME SCHUBERT
Francis Gouton and the Orava Quartet tackle a Schubert mammoth.
★★★½☆ BACH BY CANDLELIGHT
It’s Bach, Jim, but not always as we know it.
★★★★☆ EVENING SERIES – OP 127!
A clever pairing is more than simply programming by numbers.
