Brisbane Backyards - Zarabanda

In Brisbane, people who love their gardens have found an interesting way to share them. It's sort of taking the Open Gardens Scheme to a whole different dimension. Brisbane Backyards was a project of the Brisbane Festival, and it's where people volunteered to open up their gardens as a performance space for the festival; so the public could come along to music played by a variety of artists in a private domestic garden.

On one cool Brisbane Sunday afternoon, sixty people came loaded up with their picnics and wine to listen to the classical guitar and Latin harp of the duo Zarabanda. Suzanne Donisthorpe, who was part of the crowd, spoke to the assembled company and to Anthony Garcia, who is one half of the duo Zarabanda.
