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 and communities to present workshops and performances in regional and remote communities. QSO Connect Ensemble repertoire includes a mix of arrangements and specially-commissioned works, audience participation, improvisation, and creative 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 and even one on one 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. Please contact the QSO Connect team if you have any questions or would like to inquire when we will be in your region next.
