There are many, but one of the standouts was when Serbian violinist, Namanja Radulovic, played Tchaikovsky's Concerto in D for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 35 (2019). That evening, the conductor was unwell and a last-minute replacement couldn't be found. Namanja took centre stage, and we literally saw the firsts of each section lean in and respond to his direction. He said it was a 'first' for him. We're sure it was a first for many in the audience, including ourselves. His playing was electric!

Classical music has always brought us great joy. The Music Chair Program presented us with an opportunity to support incredible talent while gaining insight into the workings of the QSO. Initially, it was a gift for Helen's 50th birthday. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

The world needs elite musicians and artists as much as it needs sports people and academics. Supporting QSO gives them the much-needed funds to nurture great talent, bring classical music to regional Queensland and continue to bring world-class performers to Brisbane.
