Regional Concerts and Events

#Enriching Queensland through music.

Queensland’s state orchestra will provide a significant investment in regional Queensland through the delivery of education and large-scale community concerts. Touring Queensland as a full orchestra comprising up to 60 musicians, QSO will travel to four major cities and one outback location each year, inviting schools and communities from neighbouring areas to travel to hear the orchestra. This Residency Model will ensure that many thousands of regional and remote Queenslanders are given an opportunity to experience their state orchestra live. This city-led approach works with multiple stakeholders: Arts Queensland, regional mayors, councils, economic development agencies, local leaders, local festivals and events, businesses (SME and corporate), state tourism bodies and philanthropists. The multi-year strategy aims to unlock the value of community-wide engagement, and to evaluate the economic, social and educational impact of QSO in Queensland communities.
