Our Story
We gather together weekly to have fun playing orchestral music in a friendly, welcoming group. Whether young or old, novice or professional, we’re all connected through our passion for music.
Sixty years ago a group of friends decided to meet regularly in their lounge rooms in Indooroopilly to play music. Indooroopilly Chamber Orchestra grew out of this informal music group, and has been meeting regularly in various forms since the 1950s.
Whether joining a rehearsal or attending a performance, our audience and players share the common ground of a love for chamber music, and that’s what helps us build meaningful connections and experiences.
Our performances are characterised by an exceptional repertoire of full-scale symphonies, suites and concerti that showcase our players and the talents of Brisbane’s young soloists. If you are looking for a group to play with, come along and see if we are right for you!
