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.

Birdsong, thunderstorms and fireworks
