#QSO Connect

Entertain • Inspire • Educate

In 2025, our mission is to offer engaging concerts and programs to students, children, teachers and families and community members across Queensland. QSO Connect aims to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be involved with music, whether it be through listening, learning, performing, or composing.

Our community and education department, known as QSO Connect, offers a wealth of concerts, programs, workshops and curriculum-based resources to schools, music lovers and educators.
