The Queensland Orchestra, now officially known as the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO), is one of Australia’s most vibrant classical ensembles, based in Brisbane. Founded in 1947, this orchestra has grown into a cultural powerhouse, blending timeless classics with modern works. They’re known for dynamic performances of composers like Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns, and Weber—showcased in recent releases such as *1812 Overture* and *Turandot Overture*—as well as collaborations with soloists like violinist Takako Nishizaki (*Russian Romance*). Beyond the concert hall, the QSO actively engages with communities through education programs and innovative projects, making classical music accessible to all. Whether recording lush studio albums or bringing fiery drama to stage productions like Bliss’s *Miracle in the Gorbals*, they’re a cornerstone of Australia’s musical landscape.
