MSO Sidney Myer Free Concerts

  • Free
  • Family and kids

For more than 90 years, Melbourne summers have been punctuated by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s annual free concert series. So pack a picnic, gather family and friends and enjoy music under the stars at the Bowl.

A fiery program of works by Debussy, Stravinsky and Australian composer Ross Edwards launches the series on 29 January.

On 6 February it's a celebration of movement in music including works by Rameau, de Falla, Bernstein and two contemporary Australian composers - Paul Stanhope and Joe Chindamo.

At the final concert on 10 February you can dance to Duke Ellington, enjoy sultry Spanish flair with Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major and a world premiere by Australian jazz composer Vanessa Perica that will send you swinging into the summer night.

Stay tuned for conditions of entry to be determined in line with government regulations for live events.

The Sidney Myer Free Concert series is proudly supported by Sidney Myer MSO Trust Fund.
