What an incredible festival in 2026.

Festival concerts brought together music lovers, community members, supporters and visitors to experience and enjoy music performed by world-class musicians right here in our region.

Experiences like this remind us why events such as the Mackay Chamber Music Festival are so important.

They create opportunities for people to come together.

They provide access to exceptional cultural experiences.

As presenting Sponsor, the Hannan Mason Foundation is proud to support initiatives that enrich community life, inspire future generations and create opportunities for people of all ages to experience something extraordinary.

Congratulations to the Festival team, musicians, volunteers and supporters who have helped make this year's Festival such a success.

Last Wednesday, students in Moranbah experienced something many young people in regional communities rarely have the opportunity to enjoy — a live performance by
world-class musicians.

As part of the Mackay Chamber Music Festival's regional outreach program, talented artists travelled beyond Mackay to share the joy, creativity and inspiration of live
chamber music with local students.

For many children, this was more than a concert.
It was an opportunity to experience something new.
To hear extraordinary musicians perform up close.
To discover the possibilities that music, creativity and the arts can bring.

The Hannan Mason Foundation is proud to support initiatives that help make these opportunities accessible to communities across the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday
regions.

While the Festival's performances are exceptional, one of its most meaningful impacts is the way it extends beyond the concert stage to inspire, educate and connect
young people throughout our region.

Moments like these can spark curiosity, encourage creativity and leave lasting memories long after the final note has been played.

Thank you to the Mackay Chamber Music Festival, the musicians and the schools who helped make this experience possible.

This is community impact in action.

Did you have a teacher, mentor or experience as a child that inspired you to see new possibilities? We'd love to hear your story.

Creating connection, opportunity and inspiration across Mackay, Isaac and the Whitsundays.

Hannan Mason Foundation is proud to announce its event sponsorship of the Mackay Chamber Music Festival in 2026. While our sponsorship is new, the festival is not. Founded in 2018 by Mackay born musician, Glenn Christensen, Associate Concertmaster with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, the festival showcases exceptional music and artistic excellence. It also creates the opportunity for regional musicians and audiences to experience, learn and grow by working with renowned world class musicians – an opportunity more commonly found only in capital cities.

This year, with the support of the Hannan Mason Foundation the festival has expanded its reach to the Isaac region with the first schools concert for students in Moranbah yesterday.
This event exemplifies the community benefits from this festival and reinforces our decision to support this initiative.. The Mackay Chamber Music Festival reflects many of the values that guide our work — community connection, opportunity, education and lasting impact.

We look forward to sharing this year's Festival journey with you.

Welcome to the Hannan Mason Foundation.

Our story began with generations of family, business and community leadership across the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday region.

Our work focusses on areas that can create lasting impact, including health and wellbeing, education, the arts and community connection.

Over the coming months, we will share more about our history, the people and organisations we support, and the projects helping shape a stronger future for our region.

Honouring the past. Backing the future.
