Moreton Bay Symphony Orchestra
“Sharing a love of music with the Moreton Bay Community”
MBSO is a friendly community orchestra located in Clontarf, Redcliffe Peninsula, that performs a wide variety of music (classical and contemporary) and is made up of members coming from all walks of life; working professionals, musicians, music educators, students and retirees.
Members are brought together under the musical direction of Bronwyn Gibbs and perform under three main ensembles: MBSO, the Youth Symphony and Junior Strings.

2024 Concert Series
Moreton Bay Symphony Orchestra has five regular concert performances throughout the year. Each concert has a theme and the music is chosen accordingly. Typically, there is one classical concert, two themed concerts, a soirée, a Christmas concert and two or three other musical events each year.
We play music by classical composers such as Mendelssohn, Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky and Bizet. We also enjoy playing contemporary music by composers such as John Williams, Bernstein and Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Concerts are usually held at Clontarf Beach State High School or the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre. MBSO also plays at community events and soirées.
Performance Opportunities
Players from MBSO and the MBSO Youth Symphony have toured locally, other states of Australia and New Zealand in past years. Tours are planned for future years.
