Brisbane Symphony Orchestra (formerly Brisbane Sinfonia) was formed in 1990 in response to the need for a community orchestra of professional performance standard. Members of the orchestra are drawn from all walks of life, including medical specialists, lawyers, teachers and professional musicians engaged in music education. The orchestra has had marked success, due in great measure to the efforts of founding conductor Antoni Bonetti. Recently we welcomed Paul Dean to the BSO as our Chief Conductor. Brisbane Symphony Orchestra’s annual concert program provides an entertaining array of standard orchestral repertoire by such composers as Beethoven, Stravinsky, Dvorak, Bruch, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Britten, Berlioz, Shostakovich and Gershwim. The orchestra has commissioned works by Australian composers Elena Kats-Chernin, Robert Davidson and Paul-Antoni Bonetti. The Brisbane Symphony Orchestra currently performs up to eight or more concerts per year in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast. Orchestra members enjoy performing and sharing their love of classical music with these communities. Proudly sponsored by the Brisbane City Council
