QYO Term Concerts

Our Concerts at QYO Series showcases Queensland Youth Orchestras’ ensembles and guest groups from across Brisbane and regional Queensland in the heritage-listed Old Museum Concert Hall. Presented three times a year, by each QYO ensemble, these concerts mark the culmination of each rehearsal term, giving audiences a chance to hear the progress and passion of Queensland’s young musicians.

Each performance offers something new, from vibrant orchestral favourites to intimate chamber works, highlighting the diversity and depth of QYO’s musical community. The series also welcomes guest school and community ensembles, creating opportunities for collaboration, shared learning, and celebration.

John Curro National Youth Concerto Competition

For over five decades, this prestigious event has provided a platform for exceptional emerging musicians, many of whom have gone on to achieve national and international recognition.

Each year, three of the nation’s most talented young string soloists are selected through a rigorous audition process to perform concerto works with the Queensland Youth Symphony. This highly anticipated concert showcases the next generation of virtuosos, offering audiences a glimpse of Australia’s brightest musical future.

With an impressive legacy of past winners including Jane Peters, Richard Tognetti, Nicholas Milton, Li Wei Qin, Emily Sun, and Ray Chen, the JCNYCC continues to inspire and nurture the stars of tomorrow.
