Meet the Music Series
Limited tickets available!
The MSO’s popular Meet the Music Series for Schools is an exciting array of incredible performers and much-loved orchestral repertoire. With six concerts to choose from there is something to inspire everyone, including a new relaxed performance designed to be a comfortable place for first-time concert goers as well as audience members with autism, a disability or sensory sensitivity.
Each concert in this series will be accompanied by a digital pre-concert talk with James Le Fevre, Head of Music at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School (VCASS), to help prepare students for the performance.
Program
Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade
Brine and seaspray
Rimsky-Korsakov’s sweeping symphonic suite follows the stories of One Thousand and One Nights, with music as immersive as the tales spun by the storyteller Scheherazade.
Conjuring the brine and seaspray that accompanied Sinbad on his many journeys, this evocative work will entrance you with its lyrical exoticism.
Featuring
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Elim Chan conductor
The MSO’s Auslan interpreted performances are supported by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
