Queensland Youth Orchestra Big Band

The QYO Big Band is part of the world-renowned Queensland Youth Orchestra (QYO) music program. We are a 20-piece ensemble consisting of some of Queensland’s most talented and emerging instrumental musicians performing music from a variety of big band jazz and swing genres. The members of the auditioned ensemble are students attending schools, universities and music conservatories aged between 16 and 23.

The Big Band performs at a variety of community, educational, corporate and commercial engagements as well as touring regionally within Queensland. We have played venues such as QPAC, Suncorp Stadium (for the NRL), Brisbane City Hall, Queen Street Mall, Brisbane Jazz Club, Doo Bop Bar, Reef Casino (Cairns) and various jazz evenings & swing dancing events, where we have performed alongside notable artists such as James Morrison, Tom Burlinson and Darren Percival. The ensemble is led by accomplished Musical Director, Mr Bohdan Davison, a noted musician, music educator and saxophonist.
