STEVEN OSBORNE IN RECITAL

August 07 @ 7:30 pm
Albert Hall
Tamar Street
LAUNCESTON  Tas.  7250
Phenomenally talented pianist Steven Osborne performs music by Debussy and Prokofiev, vastly different composers who approached the piano in entirely different ways. For Debussy, the piano was a sensuous instrument; dreamy, colourful and picturesque. For Prokofiev, it was a colossus to be tamed; powerful, intense and percussive. What is common to both is tremendous virtuosity. Steven Osborne – appearing in recital, without orchestra – is sure to dazzle in this, his only Tasmanian appearance.  TICKETS

Steven Osborne in Recital - Albert Hall, Launceston, Tas.

LAUNCESTON COLLEGE PRESENTS JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR

August 08 –  August 11 @ 7:30 pm & August 11 @ 1:00 pm
Princess Theatre Launceston
57 Brisbane Street
LAUNCESTON  Tas.  7250

Launceston College presents Jesus Christ Superstar. This modernised remake of the 1970 rock opera tells a fresh narrative on the last week of Jesus’s life. Told through the eyes of Judas Isacriot in the streets of Jerusalem it starts just as Jesus enters Jerusalem and finishes with his crucifixion.
The youth have taken to the streets to protest corporate control of governments, spiraling inequity and the ever-growing gap of haves and have nots. The Twelve lead their followers in pursuit of equality in the face of an all-powerful corporation, a debaucherous matriarch and a toothless government, who are all fated to collide in events that might just change the world.Bookings at the Box Office 6323 3666 or www.theatrenorth.com.au
