Orchestra Victoria live in Melbourne

Experience Orchestra Victoria live on September 4th

Orchestra Victoria is a professional orchestra renowned for its diverse repertoire, encompassing both classical masterworks and contemporary Australian compositions. The ensemble frequently collaborates with local artists and actively commissions new works, fostering a dynamic musical landscape. Their performances often feature a commitment to accessibility, aiming to broaden orchestral music’s reach within the community.

The concert on September 4th, 2026 will be held at Meat Market & Hanson Dyer Hall in North Melbourne. The Meat Market building originally functioned as a wholesale livestock market, constructed in stages between 1889 and 1902. Reflecting Victorian-era industrial architecture, it's characterised by its robust brick construction and large open spaces.

Hanson Dyer Hall, situated within the Meat Market complex, is a dedicated performance space created through renovations of former market areas. It retains elements of the building’s industrial past while providing an intimate and acoustically treated environment suitable for chamber orchestras and smaller ensembles. The hall has become increasingly recognised as a unique venue for live music performances in Melbourne, offering a contrast to traditional concert halls. It's known for its raw aesthetic combined with modern sound capabilities.
