Secondary School Shows

Before seeking accreditation in Queensland, they toured New Zealand performing in schools for 15 years. Our shows have always been enthusiastically received.

The Curse of the Breton Fiddle

This is a dramatic multimedia presentation with projected images and live music with the use of effects and looping technology.

HISTORY AND MUSIC
YEAR 8 TO 12

History explored through music, song and drama
Fiddlesticks, Karen and Jacko link music compositions and the dramatic story of Karen's Breton Fiddle with modern history.

Relive the historical journey of a 216-year-old cursed French Violin as it claims the lives of its owners, performer by performer, era by era.

The French Revolution, the struggle of secessionists and abolitionists in North America, the Gold Rushes in Gympie and trench warfare in World War I all have their own musical signature.

The Curse of the Breton Fiddle and QAC's Teacher Resource Kit complement Essential Learnings in The Arts (music, drama, media), SOSE (time, continuity and change, place and space, culture and identity) and Modern History.
