13.01.2022 Our event on Friday 20 November will still proceed (all being well!) however we have had to reprogram the concert due to COVID-19 restrictions. Unfortunately o...ur soloists, Simon Tedeschi and Andy Firth, will no longer perform so we won't be able to bring you 'Rhapsody in Blue'. But don't despair! Instead, you will be treated to a toe-tapping jazz-themed concert which includes not only our Orchestra but our newly-formed jazz big band, RSO Jazz. Full details to follow ... See more

12.01.2022 Workshops with Owen Clarke are in full 'swing' (see what we did there?). We kicked off today with strings only, rehearsing an awesome Latin piece with soloist Lynn Byun on violin. Jazz Meets the Symphony hits the Pilbeam Theatre stage in less than 2 week's time. #rockhampton #rockhamptonsymphonyorchestra #jazz #rso

10.01.2022 Lest we forget this Anzac Day. Here is a beautiful recording of Abide With Me from the Brisbane Municipal Concert Band (who I performed with for many years before moving to Rocky). In these current times, isn't it so amazing that technology and the arts can combine to keep music ensembles alive? I hope you can enjoy the time together today with your family - Sian x
