CC - East meets West with Long Listen

Long Listen is an artist-driven, musician-led annual boutique music festival founded and programmed by Louise King.

Long Listen returns with a festival teaser event from November 1-3, at Eudlo Hall, offering a unique cultural experience where East meets West, featuring concerts and conversation to amplify world peace. 

This special weekend teaser will immerse audiences in a rich sonic tapestry of immersive music, art, and storytelling, celebrating the intersection of diverse musical traditions from Afghanistan, India and Australia. 

The headline artist is Qais Essar, a leading Afghan composer and musician of his generation on Saturday November 2, 7pm. Given the Taliban's ongoing persecution of artists and musicians, he is an important voice. 

Qais is performing this exclusive Sunshine Coast performance on his Australian tour which includes sold out shows at Melbourne Recital Centre and Sydney Opera House. 

Located in the serene setting of Eudlo, this festival teaser offers a glimpse into the full festival program planned for next year. Book now to experience this harmonious meeting of East and West, in the heart of the Sunshine Coast. Tickets on sale via Humanitix, search for Long Listen.
