Managing partner of BDO’s Brisbane office, Steven Sorbello, said that music was increasingly important in the wake of the pandemic.
“We are delighted to be able to renew our partnership with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO), again championing the acclaimed Maestro Series,” said Mr Sorbello. “This is an exciting time to work so closely with QSO as it welcomes the internationally famed Umberto Clerici as chief conductor from 1 January.”
Mr Sorbello said that the decision to recommit to another year with the QSO was easy.
“QSO’s philosophy of being powered by music strongly resonates with us at BDO, and our decision to continue to align our brand with such a highly regarded company was not difficult,” said Mr Sorbello.
“We are really pleased to be part of an organisation that can support local artists and musicians, while also welcoming to Queensland world-class soloists, and at the same time has the vision to create important initiatives like the health and wellbeing program.
“Music matters more and more in our world, and we look forward to soaking up the sounds and inspiration from QSO for the remainder of 2022 and throughout 2023.”
QSO development director, Toni Palmer, said it was pleasing to have the continued support of BDO as a partner, particularly after a number of challenging years.
“QSO and BDO have shared values as companies, and we are thrilled they will continue to be the major partner for our Maestro Series,” said Ms Palmer.
“There are common themes in all businesses – leadership, new business development, stakeholder management, and engagement – and through our association we can share these experiences and learnings and recreate the definition of partnerships in the arts sector.
“Orchestras are complex businesses; at any time we can be preparing to perform Beethoven to a capacity concert hall, and at the same time examining the best materials to deliver for a professional development session with teachers in remote Queensland, both are what our company do and we look forward to sharing this journey with the BDO team.”
QSO’s Maestro Series has five remaining pieces announced for 2022: Triumphant Tchaikovsky in July, Orchestral Adventures in August, Piano Power in September, Beethoven and Dvořák in October and Mighty Rachmaninov in November.
