“rewrite the melody”

In 2023, we celebrate five years of RBCI. To honour this milestone, our symphonic signature returned to two different stages with two different casts.

Originally created amidst the global pandemic, Majors & Minors brings a traditional concept into the modern era by attuning music and might. With ever-changing audience capacity regulations at the time of its original inception, we proudly orchestrated this dual rendition in both Mackay and Brisbane to let this reinvented score relish in its deserved glory.

Availing a total of 85 young dancers from across Australia, we rode the rewritten melody as we triumphantly commemorate five years of artistic opulence.

Premiered in Mackay on April 2, 2023 at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, and in Brisbane on July 4, 2023 at the Thomas Dixon Centre.
