SidebySide Program

Queensland Symphony Orchestra's SidebySide Program provides successful applicants with personalised mentoring and 1:1 instruction from a QSO musician, leading to a performance with the Orchestra. Previously known as the Prodigy Project, this program supports the Queensland Instrumental Music curriculum in providing opportunities for Queensland secondary school students to become musicians and reinforces the Australian Music Curriculum's aim of developing technical and expressive skills through making music. The program is free and locations are announced annually. More information including program dates and application guidelines is announced on this page and via the QSO Education email list throughout the year.
