Sarah Walker presents highlights from the 2019 Australian Festival of Chamber Music.

The festival is held annually in July/August in Townsville, Northern Queensland, and it has become a showcase for a wide range of chamber music featuring both international and local musicians against a backdrop of tropical winter warmth, 850 miles north of Brisbane.

The music director, pianist Kathryn Stott curated an exciting programme, displaying the diversity of music making in Australia, so alongside the usual (and less commonly heard) European suspects there is natural space for music from Asia as well as homegrown composers too.
