Join us for this FREE showcase of newly composed works by young composers participating in the Queensland Youth Orchestra Young Composer Program.

The Queensland Youth Orchestra Young Composer Program pairs emerging composers with talented soloists to create short solo works for the Queensland Youth Symphony and Queensland Youth Orchestra 2. Throughout the process, composers collaborate closely with their chosen soloist, crafting music that highlights the performer’s unique talents while exploring the full timbral and technical possibilities of their instrument. Participants are mentored by cellist and composer Craig Allister Young and Brisbane-based composer John Rotar, gaining expert guidance in composition, collaboration, and orchestral writing.
