MBSO Youth Symphony

MBSO Youth Symphony was formed in 2012 to meet the needs of young musicians wanting to play in a symphony orchestra. A youth symphony orchestra is the ideal stepping stone for students leaving school and young adults who wish to return to the enjoyment of music-making with others. The MBSO Youth Symphony is also beneficial as an augmentation to the Moreton Bay Symphony Orchestra.

Young musicians are encouraged to be involved in an activity that is enjoyable, self-satisfying and socially interactive. You will meet other like-minded people who share in your enthusiasm to produce wonderful music. Within this program, you will have the opportunity to develop, refine and apply your musical skills in a supportive environment with peers and with older, more experienced musicians.

MBSO Youth Symphony performs in conjunction with the Moreton Bay Symphony Orchestra (MBSO) in venues around the Moreton Bay and north Brisbane regions including Clontarf Beach State High School and the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre.
