Voices of Tomorrow is a collaborative program developed in partnership with the Logan City Symphony Orchestra, supporting emerging female composers to create a new song cycle for soprano and orchestra.
Under the direction of conductor Stephanie Smith and with mentorship from Brisbane-based composer Lisa Cheney, participating composers will work collaboratively with a local poet to develop an original work integrating music and prose.
The completed song cycle will receive its premiere performance in concert with the LCSO, celebrating new voices and original storytelling on the symphonic stage.
Logan City Orchestras (LCO)
Logan City Orchestras (LCO) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to creating vibrant orchestral opportunities across the City of Logan. As an inclusive and community-driven initiative, LCO is being developed to support a multi-ensemble structure designed to foster musical excellence, education, and engagement across all ages and ability levels.
LCO is home to the Logan City Symphony Orchestra (LCSO)—our premier ensemble—as well as in the future a range of smaller ensembles and project-based groups. We invision these to include chamber music initiatives, youth development ensembles, and cross-genre collaborations that reflect the rich cultural diversity of the region.
Driven by a passionate team of musicians, educators, arts workers, and volunteers, LCO operates on a project-based model, enabling flexible and high-quality participation across the year. We work closely with local venues, community partners, and arts organisations to build pathways into orchestral music and celebrate the creative talent within Logan.
