Queensland Symphony Orchestra ueensland Symphony Orchestra Johannes Fritzsch, one of Australia’s leading international conductors, has been named Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s new Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser; it is a very welcome return for the world-class Maestro. “The appointment of Maestro Fritzsch as QSO’s new Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser extends until 2023, and we are thrilled and honoured that he has agreed to return to the fold to provide the orchestra with outstanding and unequalled artistic leadership,” said QSO Chair Mr Chris Freeman. “Maestro Fritzsch remains integral to the Queensland Symphony Orchestra,” he said. “He is one of the great musical leaders, a conductor we can credit with building the QSO into the world class orchestra it is today, one that is spoken of in concert halls everywhere for its musicality and integrity. It is indeed a coup for the QSO and all our subscribers and music lovers to have Maestro Fritzsch own the baton as Principal Conductor.”
