Here For Queensland
Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) belongs to Queensland. From the rich red soil of the Darling Downs to the white sands of tropical North Queensland, we are committed to bringing the power and joy of music to communities across our vast state. We are here for Queensland.
In 2026, QSO will travel more than 10,000 kilometres across regional Queensland to deliver world‑class performances, inspire young musicians, support music teachers and put the opportunity for families to experience their state orchestra within arm's reach.
Touring is important - and it is expensive. Each town we visit requires significant investment in air and ground transportation, accommodation and coordination of high‑quality artistic and education programs. In a state this large, we simply cannot do this without support.
Please help us continue our great tradition of regional touring by donating today. Our goal is to raise $20 for each kilometre we travel through regional Queensland this year. Whether you support one kilometre or many, your contribution helps ensure that world‑class music reaches every corner of Queensland.
Your generosity has never been more important. Please share your belief in music and keep the wheels on the QSO tour bus turning this year.
"I can honestly say their (QSO’s) visits and the opportunity to work with the QSO absolutely helped shape me and my music. I often think about the impact their visits had on me, the changes it brought into my life and how it’s driven me to now pursue a music career"
– Grant Dolbel, Chinchilla music student
