Regional Activities
We engage with students, teachers and communities from across the state through live concerts, workshops and interactive online engagement. We call these activities QSO Connect.
The QSO Connect Ensemble is a group of up to 21 QSO musicians who work with students, teachers and community members to deliver workshops and performances in regional and remote communities. QSO Connect Ensemble 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 are also encouraged to apply to the Young Instrumentalist Prize and the Compose Program.
We recently announced our 2025 Education concert dates for Bundaberg, Townsville and Gladstone. View them here. Please stay tuned for Rockhampton QSO Education information.
