The Brisbane Chamber Collective is a group of diverse freelance musicians who enjoy sharing their love of chamber music with other musicians and the community. Their string quartet will be performing and chatting about works by Graeme Koehne, Alexander Borodin, Handel and Dmitri Shostakovich.

The audience will also be encouraged to enjoy the accompanying exhibition, the Vegas Spray-presented Eastcoasters, which features contemporary art from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Sydney and Lismore. Trav Dewan, Vegas Spray curator, will be discussing the work, along with a handful of participating artists.

heARTbeat will run 5.30- 7.30pm on July 10th at Bleeding Heart. Tickets and a complimentary drink on arrival cost $20 and are available on the door, or by calling Bleeding Heart on (07)32290395. They’re also available online through OzTix.
