<< ALL EVENTS

Presented by

Queensland Music Festival

Featuring

Archie Roach with the Tinalley String Quartet. Guest performance by Jessie Lloyd and band performing the award-winning Mission Songs Project.

Overview

A one-of-a-kind evening of music, tenderness, history and above all, love.

​

Let Love Rule is a celebration of one of Australia’s musical treasures: the inimitable Archie Roach. Drawing from his latest release entitled “The Concert Collection 2012-2018”, Archie Roach reimagines his repertoire spanning the last 30 years and gets to the heart of what it means to be human.

​

Accompanied by the lush strings of the Tinalley String Quartet, Let Love Rule breathes new life into Archie Roach’s iconic songs, showcasing the poignancy and soulful lyricism of his work. 

​

Opening the evening is friend and collaborator Jessie Lloyd with her profoundly moving Mission Songs Project, a musical glimpse into life on Christian Missions and state-run settlements for Indigenous Australians.
