The Queensland Philanthropic Orchestra is a unique, exciting and positive philanthropic initiative that over the last three years has raised over $30,000 for Queensland charities.
The orchestra brings together musicians from all spectrums of life, many of whom manage full time professional careers. Under the leadership of a world class conductor, these high-calibre performances symbolise the spirit of philanthropy - working together, united by the desire to give to the community in which these people belong for the benefit of others.
