11:30am concert recommended for Year 7-12

Embark on a musical adventure with Queensland Symphony Orchestra!

QSO, under the baton of conductor Sam Weller, invite students to be taken on a journey in tune with school curriculums. Discover musical heroes, witness epic battles and follow important quests, all while learning about the different instruments that make up the Orchestra.

Experience the full spectrum of classical music and marvel at the breadth of what an Orchestra can make possible when many become one. Let minds race through post-modern masterpieces that evoke our busy world with Hindson’s Speed, and ease back for Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9 – a piece so important it was famously brought along for the first Moon Landing by Neil Armstrong aboard Apollo 11.

Classical music has walked a long and important journey through human history, now it’s your turn for an Orchestral Adventure through classical music.

The concert is supported by a tailored learning resource which will be provided to schools/groups prior to the performance.
