Compose Program
Queensland Symphony Orchestra's Compose Program is designed to introduce secondary school students to composing for orchestral instruments, extending learning in the senior phase of their schooling beyond the general requirements of the curriculum. Through workshops and face-to-face activities under the guidance of QSO Composition Mentors Craig Allister Young and Timothy Tate, participating students have the opportunity to write compositions for the QSO Connect Ensemble, resulting in a final presentation at the QSO Studio in South Bank, Brisbane.
In 2025, students must apply on an individual basis (independent of their school). This year's theme revolves around native Australian animals, with our young composers drawing inspiration from a talented local artist's paintings.
More information about the next Compose Program will be announced in October 2024.
