# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Whitlams with Queensland Symphony Orchestra | QPAC, QLD
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am
- **Event Description**: The Whitlams joins the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in two performances of their renowned symphonic collaboration on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 March. The Whitlams was the first Australian indie band to perform with Australia's finest orchestras back in 2004, and the show has developed as new albums have been released.
  
This retrospective will see the QSO share centre stage, playing a wide palate of styles written by many of Australia's finest composers. Tim Freedman's friendship with the late Peter Sculthorpe is marked by two gorgeous arrangements, and full symphonic treatments have been provided by MSO Principal Conductor Benjamin Northey, Sean O’Boyle, and this performance’s conductor Nicholas Buc. 
Classic compositions including "No Aphrodisiac" and "Blow Up the Pokies" will be joined by highlights of The Whitlams' 2020s resurgence with songs from the two recent albums, "Sancho" (2022), and Americana influenced, "Kookaburra" (2024).
 
 "...the kind of arrangements which assume intelligence not just on stage but in the audience.

 It's wit and risk and flair." Sydney Morning Herald 
"...superbly orchestrated with a sophistication of sound rare in a pop gig." The Age
