Join QYO in 2014

QYO Annual program

GENERAL

QYO’s annual program consists of rehearsals, tutorials, concerts, music camps and tours. Weekly rehearsals at the Old Museum Building are scheduled during school and university terms. Each orchestra presents concerts at venues around Brisbane, including the Old Museum and QPAC concert halls. Some orchestras undertake day trips or local tours of two to seven days duration and QYS tours internationally once every four years.

Each orchestra has a weekend music camp during first term (except QYS and Big Band). It is an integral part of the year’s training and all members are encouraged to attend. The camp fee is included in the annual membership fee. For further details on orchestras, repertoire, conductors and other information, please visit www.qyo.org.au.
