Excerpt: QYS plays Prokofiev’s Cinderella Suite

 

Established in 1966, the Queensland Youth Symphony (QYS) is QYO’s leading orchestra and is widely recognised as a world-class youth orchestra.

 

QYS has performed throughout Australia and internationally during eleven overseas tours (Europe, USA, United Kingdom, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand) to much critical acclaim. In 2008, QYS toured to Germany, France, Austria and Italy giving concerts in Mannheim, Speyer, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, Bouxwiller, Scherwiller, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Bamberg, Ancona, Sulmona and Rome.
In 2004, QYS toured to Germany and Italy giving concerts in Ulm, Munich, Bamberg, Würzburg, Florence, Santa Fiora and Tivoli.

In 2010, QYS is performing with guest artists including the Lipman Harp Duo, pianist Suzanna Hlinka, the Brisbane Chorale, Queensland Conservatorium Chamber Choir, Choral Director Emily Cox, organist Christopher Wrench and singers Judith Henley and Anne Fulton.

QYO regularly hosts visiting international youth orchestras including, in 2009, the Albuquerque Youth Symphony from the US and the Ulm Youth Wind Philharmonic from Germany. In 2007 and 2008, QYO hosted orchestras from Germany (Mannheim and Stuttgart) and Macau.

Past members of the QYS hold positions in most of Australia’s major orchestras and orchestras of renown throughout the world.
