Young musicians rehearse the 2016 Symphony in a Day concert
Fifty young musicians from Queensland Conservatorium and around Brisbane will rehearse and perform an entire symphony in a day on Sunday, April 9.
Following on from last year’s successful events, Symphony in a Day (SIAD) is the brainchild of 22-year-old clarinet student Jessica Hort, who brought the event from Melbourne to Brisbane in early 2016 when she began her master’s degree.
“My friend Hank-Clifton Williamson (flute) and I came up with the idea when we were completing our bachelor of music in Melbourne, basically to act as an extra learning platform for musicians wanting to gain more experience playing in an orchestral environment,’’ Jess said.
Clarinet student Jessica Hort brough SIAD to Brisbane.
