🎶 December Concerts at the MECC
Join us this December for two unforgettable musical events at the MECC — a powerful international collaboration and a beloved festive tradition.

Exchange for Peace
December 19–20, 2025 7:30pm MECC Theatre
An extraordinary international collaboration between Mackay Choral Society and Bentley Music Academy, Exchange for Peace brings together Australian and Malaysian orchestral musicians, adult choirs, and children’s voices under the baton of renowned conductor Kevin Field.
Following a successful season in Kuala Lumpur, this moving concert features Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace and the world premiere of a new global commission composed by four artists from around the world.
This cultural exchange honours those who serve and those we’ve lost, offering a profound musical statement of unity across continents and generations.

Carols by Candlelight

Celebrate the season with music, joy, and the glow of hundreds of candles. Mackay’s most beloved Christmas tradition returns as the community gathers beneath the twinkling ‘stars’ of the MECC theatre.
Families, choirs, and guest performers will fill the air with festive cheer in a heartwarming concert of sing-along carols, magical performances, and seasonal togetherness. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the reason for the season with loved ones — and to make memories that will glow long into the New Year.
