Tutors, Auditioners, Judges, Accompanists

QYO employs over 70 professional musicians each year as tutors, auditioners, judges for the National Youth Concerto Competition and as accompanists for recitals.


Volunteers

QYO has approximately 100 volunteers who assist with orchestral administration, camps, concerts, tours, catering, fundraising or by offering their expertise in specialised areas, eg. IT, graphic design, instrument and equipment maintenance.

QYO also has opportunities for students who wish to gain experience in arts administration to volunteer their services to QYO as an office volunteer.
