Southside String Festival Online
The foundation of the Southside String Festival was established by a group of music educators collaborating with the local music institution Music Creators, who saw the need to fill a gap in our community to ensure all young string players had more opportunity to showcase their brilliant performance ability and creative learning technique.
Brisbane is developing as a strong musical hotspot with exciting and innovative music festivals and competitions offering many musical opportunities. Southside Brisbane has a substantial number of young musicians, especially in classical strings. We aim to provide an online environment to motivate young string students to develop their skills and raise artistic levels. The online platform provides an environment that allows the student to maximise their creative skills with confidence.

Due to the success of the online Festival since 2020, we have decided to continue the competition in its online format for 2024. This online format will be explained in the Online Solo Sessions page and the Online Ensemble Session page of the website. Please click on Online Solo Sessions or Online Ensemble Sessions button above for further details. We encourage students and String ensembles from many parts of the Queensland region, as well as interstate and overseas, to participate in the Online Festival.
