About QYO:

Queensland Youth Orchestras (QYO) is the State’s major orchestral training and performance organisation for young musicians aged 7 to 25. Founded by John Curro AM MBE (1932-2019) in 1966, QYO is now under the artistic leadership of Simon Hewett. QYO is renowned as a world-class youth orchestra organisation and a member of Youth Orchestras Australia (YOA), a network comprising the major state youth orchestras of Australia and the Australian Youth Orchestra.

QYO currently has eight ensembles: three symphony orchestras, two concert bands, two junior string ensembles and a big band. Each group has its own program of activities including rehearsals, tutorials, concerts, camps and tours.

Each October, around 700 musicians audition for QYO before a panel of professional musicians and over 510 musicians are offered positions in orchestras. Performing members of QYO must re-audition for a place each year alongside new applicants.

Come and discover the Queensland Youth Orchestra at our Open day and look inside one of Brisbane's Iconic Buildings, The Old Museum!
