Join Alexandre Da Costa in a world where extreme virtuosity and musical fireworks meet sensitivity and the irresistible lure of the violin.

Hailed as a "Rock Star of the violin", Canadian JUNO award-winner Alexandre Da Costa performs and records with the world's best orchestras and once you hear him, you'll understand why.

Music By The Sea conducts monthly (first Saturday of the month) concerts at the Sandgate Town Hall. The concert series began in 1997. Program presented is classical, folk, jazz and world music. The Sandgate Town Hall is a heritage listed architectural gem with superb acoustics. It has been restored in 2011 with new air-conditioning, dance floor, lighting and sound. Performances are intimate, giving the audience a much greater experience than a performance in a large concert hall. In early January we produce the annual three-day festival since 2002 - 'Music By The Sea Festival'.
