This
Australian orchestra is the symphony orchestra based at the Queensland
Conservatorium at Griffith University.
The orchestra
is made up of the young musicians in attendance at the Conservatorium and
rehearse from a large repertoire on a weekly basis. The string musicians
are also included in the Conservatorium’s String Orchestra
program. They perform at the
establishment’s own theatre where the stage is also shared with other
ensembles.
The musicians
are required to go through auditions to ensure they meet the high standards
set by the Conservatorium and must provide performances of two contrasting
pieces of music which they have chosen personally.
Many of the
musicians at the Conservatorium also get the chance to take part in an
internship with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
