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.

Winner of many national and international first prizes, including the International Violin Competition Pablo Sarasate, Alexandre Da Costa has performed the major halls of Vienna (Musikverein), Berlin (Philharmonie), New York (Carnegie Hall), Beijing (Poly-Theater) and beyond. He has played and recorded as guest soloist with more than a 100 different orchestras including London's Royal Philharmonic, the Vienna, Berlin, Montreal and Toronto Symphony Orchestras, the Dresden, Bergen, Buffalo and Prague Philharmonic Orchestras, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the National TV and Radio Orchestra of Spain, the YOA Orchestra of the Americas and many more.

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'.
