Julian Lage live in Brisbane

Experience Julian Lage live on September 19th

Julian Lage, an American jazz guitarist renowned for his virtuosic technique and melodic sensibility, is scheduled to perform at the Old Museum in Brisbane, Australia on September 19, 2026. Lage’s music blends elements of traditional jazz with influences from folk, classical, and American roots music. He is known for both his improvisational skills and his compositions which often feature complex harmonies and lyrical phrasing. His playing style has been described as both deeply informed by jazz guitar traditions – citing influences like Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall – yet distinctly modern and personal.

The Old Museum, located in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1891 as the Brisbane Trades Hall. Originally designed to house exhibits showcasing Queensland’s industries and agriculture, it served as a central venue for exhibitions and public events throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time it transitioned into a performance space. Today, the building retains much of its original Victorian architectural character including its distinctive iron lacework and high ceilings; it is now managed by Arts Queensland and regularly hosts concerts, theatre productions, and community events. The building is recognised for its acoustics suited to acoustic performances.
