Regional Programs
QSO Connect engages students, teachers and communities from across the state through live concerts, workshops and online education resources.
The QSO Connect Ensemble is comprised of up to 21 QSO musicians who work with students, teachers and community members to deliver workshops and performances in regional and remote communities across Queensland. QSO Connect repertoire includes a mix of arrangements, specially commissioned works, audience participation and story-telling elements.
Regional activities also include instrumental workshops, rehearsals with professional conductors, opportunities to play alongside QSO musicians in rehearsal and community environments as well as 1:1 mentoring and performing with the full Orchestra through our SidebySide Program.
Students based regionally and remotely are also encouraged to apply to the Young Instrumentalist Prize and the Compose Program. Educators are invited to explore our free digital learning resources.

At Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO), regional touring and outreach programs are at the heart of our commitment as the orchestra for Queensland. From full symphony orchestra performances in North and Central Queensland, to QSO Connect performances and workshops that reach smaller communities across the State, we are proud to deliver a vibrant orchestral music program that inspires communities and young people.
Philanthropic support is instrumental in making this possible. Together we can break down geographic and socio-economic barriers and bring world-class orchestral music directly to the heart of regional Queensland.
