Melbourne Symphony Orchestra live in Melbourne

Experience Melbourne Symphony Orchestra live on September 19th

Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is recognised for its broad repertoire encompassing classical masterworks, contemporary compositions, and innovative cross-genre collaborations. Established in 1906, the orchestra has a history of commissioning Australian works and fostering musical talent within the country. Its performances are characterised by a commitment to artistic excellence and engaging audiences through diverse programming.

The concert on September 19, 2026, will be held at Melbourne Recital Centre. Opened in 2009, the Centre was specifically designed to provide optimal acoustics for chamber music and smaller orchestral performances. It stands on the site previously occupied by the historic Mount View Hotel and features two primary performance spaces: the intimate Salon and the larger Elisabeth Murdoch Hall.

The Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, where this concert is scheduled, is noted for its vineyard-style seating arrangement which places the audience closer to the performers. The building’s design incorporates sustainable practices and aims to create a welcoming environment for both artists and patrons. The Recital Centre frequently hosts ensembles from across Australia and internationally, alongside local soloists and chamber groups.
