Music at first light

Begin your Rangebow journey with a moment of pure magic.

Glasshouse Dawn is a rare and breath-taking experience—an exclusive performance by a seven-piece chamber orchestra set within the stunning surrounds of Tiffany’s Chapel, perched high on Mountain View Road in Maleny. Witness the first light of day spilling over the Glasshouse Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, and the mighty Tibrogargan catches the dawn’s glow, let yourself be transported by an hour of exquisite classical music, performed by some of Australia’s finest musicians.  The 5am start will deliver a magical experience.

This once-a-year event is the official opening of The Rangebow Festival, offering not just a concert, but a moment in time.

And for those who prefer a gentler start, a sun-kissed later performance at 7am lets you savour the same breathtaking beauty—just with a little more daylight.  Unique. Uplifting. Unforgettable.
