Support Your Local Orchestra
Be the Note That Helps Us Grow…
The Toowoomba Concert Orchestra is more than a musical ensemble, it’s the cultural heartbeat of the Toowoomba region. For nearly 50 years, we’ve brought together musicians of all ages and backgrounds to create, connect, and inspire through the power of music.
But we’re not just about music, we’re about community, culture, and connection.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and local supporters to keep the music alive. Your support helps us provide a space where local talent can grow, where classical music can be experienced by new audiences, and where our region’s cultural story continues to be written… note by note.
Your support directly contributes to:
Rehearsal Space Costs
Keeping our musicians in a great practice venue.
Sheet Music & Instruments
Expanding our repertoire and maintaining instruments.
Concert Production
Covering venue hire, sound, and staging for performances.
Community Outreach
Bringing orchestral music to schools, aged care facilities, and the wider public.
Your contribution creates a space for local musicians to thrive…
Become a Sponsor
Music artist sponsorship is a powerful way to promote your business while supporting the arts and engaging with the local community. The Toowoomba Concert Orchestra is seeking expressions of interest from organisations who share our passion for culture and creativity, and who wish to partner with us in sustaining the orchestra’s future.
We are specifically looking for support to help cover essential operational costs not met through grants; namely, the housing of our music library, sponsorship of our Conductor and Musical Director, and contributions toward maintaining a professional rehearsal space.
Your sponsorship plays a vital role in helping us continue to create, connect, and inspire through music.

TOOWOOMBA CONCERT ORCHESTRA:
AN AFTERNOON CONCERT
We had the pleasure of the TCO come and play for our residents on Sunday afternoon.
I would like to express my thanks and appreciation on how professional and amazing they were! Our residents turned up in huge numbers and were absolutely delighted with their performance. Everyone I spoke to said that the had a very enjoyable afternoon.
I think that it is a wonderful community service that they offer. Some of our residents are unable to get out very much due to transport/health issues etc, so for them to have this kind of entertainment available to them in the village is such a joy and blessing.
I really hope that The Toowoomba Concert Orchestra will be able to continue this very valuable and well needed service to the community for many years to come, and I wish them every success.
