Where music meets the rainforest
HIGH in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, nestled among the whispering trees of Kondalilla National Park, lies Lucas Parklands — a world-class performance venue that has become a hub for artistic discovery.
Founded by Lee and Ian, Lucas Parklands was born from a family dream to create a serene parkland for guests to enjoy, and a stage where both international artists and rising stars can share their music with the world. The concert hall, slightly elevated, offers a one-of-a-kind acoustic experience — where towering rainforest canopy and music seem to merge with the sounds of the forest itself.
October’s concert saw the debut of a remarkable young talent, New Zealand pianist Lana Ritchie, whose performance marked a memorable engagement. Those lucky enough to attend will remember their time at Lucas Parklands — a moment destined to become part of the venue’s story.
Continuing the “Brilliant Young” Spring Concert series, Lucas Parklands will welcome another exceptional New Zealand pianist, Madeleine Xiao, on Sunday 16th November at 4pm. Her program features breathtaking music, including works by Liszt, Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Fisher, and Debussy — a repertoire sure to inspire and captivate audiences.
Whether attending a performance or staying amid the rainforest, Lucas Parklands offers an unforgettable Hinterland experience in the heart of Montville — where music, nature, and artistry unite in perfect harmony.
