#About QMusic
QMusic is the peak body for Queensland’s music sector, a not-for-profit dedicated to securing the future of an industry that delivers artistic, cultural, social and economic value to Queensland.
With ongoing funding commitments from the state and federal government and partnerships with local government authorities across our state, we run a series of programs and events focused on building community, industry capacity, market growth and artistic development.
We provide powerful platform events to showcase Australian talent to audiences here and around the globe, all the while acting as a key advocate for the sector and investing in the grassroots of music across our state.
Key events include BIGSOUND, the largest music industry event in the southern hemisphere, the Queensland Music Awards, our state-wide skills and capacity building program QMusic Industry Connect, Queensland Parliamentary Friends of Music, as well as festivals including Valley Fiesta, and awards such as the Billy Thorpe Scholarship, the Grant McLennan Fellowship, the Carol Lloyd Award and the Dennis ‘Mop’ Conlon Scholarship.
