There is something truly magical about live music by the water’s edge. Whether it’s the fresh open air, the still water of the river, or the ebb and flow of a musician’s melodies, we always find ourselves enchanted by the sights and sounds. This is the magical spell of Music by the River featuring the Canberra Symphony Orchestra. Music by the River is proudly presented by Icon Water and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council. This is the seventh year the Canberra Symphony Orchestra has played as part of Music by the River and the signature event attracts music lovers from across the region. Join us for a very special program dedicated to the &quot;Rocketman&quot; - A Tribute to Elton John. This year&#x27;s program features guest vocalist, Darren Percival &amp; Band, who will entertain with all of the delights of Elton John&#x27;s best hits.
