The Good Fortune Trust
The Good Fortune Trust is an Australian initiative that supports Tibetan Buddhist monks
and nuns, both those in Tibet and those in exile in India. It was founded by globally
revered teacher, the Venerable Geshe Tashi Tsering to care for his home monastery
in the Kardze area of Tibet, as well as for hundreds of monks from this region who are
studying in India. His many Tibetan students look to him for guidance and practical
support. He shoulders this responsibility with characteristic compassion and kindness.
The Good Fortune Trust is rebuilding Khangmar Monastery, a small and very poor
monastery in eastern Tibet. The conditions at Khangmar Monastery and the nearby Jhilu
Ritrek Nunnery are very primitive. Thanks to the kindness of Westerners, the Trust is able
to provide basic food and medicine and essential utilities like running water. The Good
Fortune Trust is also funding literacy programmes that will underpin the establishment of
advanced formal study at the monastery.
The Concert
This special event takes place in the beautiful Concert Hall in the Old
Museum which has been one of Qld’s premier performance venues for
over 100 years.
The Old Museum Concert Hall is a truly inspiring place to
listen to live music. Get inside our state’s living history!
Rollicking Tibetan folk, Afro-Reggae guitar grooves
and intricate Indian tabla sound as if they were made
for each other! Together, Tenzin Choegyal, Marcello
Milani and Shen Flindell create a new joyful sound
that transcends cultural boundaries.
Tibet2Timbuk2 has an eclectic repertoire resulting
in an overall sound which is full and organic. All
three musicians share melody, harmony, bass and
percussion roles to create a solid yet easy groove.
From the joyous to the meditative, come on a journey
from Tibet to Timbuktu.
Leah Cotterell & Jamie Clark – Pearly Black & John
Rodgers – A unique combination of two superb duos
gives us a truly exotic quartet!
Apart from their various great accomplishments in
Jazz, Blues, Folk, World Music & the Avante Garde,
all four of these superb musicians are members of
Brisbane’s beloved Gospel groove band Tell Heaven.
Putting them together in a quartet expressly for this
special event promises listeners a feast of great taste
and variety – Flamenco, Mexican, Bluegrass, Irish folk
and lush Gospel vocal harmony to move the heart
and refresh the spirit.

Those in the know will be flocking to Brisbane’s Old Museum on Friday the 13th of November to witness the revival of the River City’s vaudeville heyday.
New local entertainment company Whistle Productions is bringing the city’s old sequinned and laced-up spirit to life, through a series of shows that transport the viewer back to the age of showmanship, glamour and tease.

Doors open at 8pm, as the audience take their seats in the lavish Concert Hall. Then Brisbane’s finest will keep them spellbound – iconic burlesque performer Lola the Vamp, rising stars The Judy Dolls, boylesque sensation Mark Winmill, virtuosos The Empire Salon and Dance Orchestra, singer Matthew McDowell, underground burlesque prodigy Rose, and more, all join in for An Evening of tease, circus, dance, wit, and music.
“An Evening With…” starts at 7pm at the Old Museum, Brisbane on Friday the 13th of November. Tickets $32 from http://www.moshtix.com or $45 at the door.

This special performance of L’Isola Disibitata is being stage in honour of the bicentenary of Joseph Haydn’s death.
It is a Tresure Island-esque story in which Costanza has been left shipwrecked on a tropical island with her sister Silvia, believing her husband Gernando has abandoned her. In reality, Gernando has spent 13 years in the captivity of pirates before returning to the island to seek out his beloved with the help of his good friend Enrico.

KEN LORD IN CABARET
Here’s his colourful tribute to this city’s 150th Birthday.
He knows his town and he tickles its fancies with larrikin wordplay and saucy lyrics.
He pings off at Brisbane’s life, lifestyles, plusses, minuses, leaders, cowboys and
wannabes in florid Cabaret style; tongue in cheek stuff with showbiz tunes.
He’s not out to change the world he wallows in, he just wants to point out that all things considered, Brisbane is a bit of a three-ring circus. Send in the clowns
