The Music of Elton: 40 Years of MSO x Elton John

  • Music
  • Entertainment

40 years ago, Elton John invited the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to accompany him on a national orchestral tour. Now the MSO pays tribute to the musical icon in these Australian-exclusive concerts.

Recognised as one of the most successful artists in music history with more than 300 million records sold, Sir Elton John needs no further introduction. The Music of Elton will see some of his most memorable songs brought to life at Hamer Hall with a full orchestra sharing the stage with singer / pianist Jason Dean and his band, Superband.

Under the baton and musical direction of Chong Lim AM – whose production and direction credits include three decades of John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John tours, the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the original I Still Call Australia Home Qantas advertisements – these special performances will be equal parts nostalgia and pure joy.
