Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is the performance partner of Victorian Opera and all Melbourne seasons of The Australian Ballet and Opera Australia. In addition, the Orchestra delivers free concerts and education workshops throughout Victoria via its Community Programs.

Delivering nearly 200 performances to more than 240,000 people throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria each year, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is one of Australia’s busiest orchestras.

We believe that every great city needs a great orchestra.  The orchestra brings a community together explore itself, and to go beyond itself.  Music defines the community, and the individuals within the community, while at the same time, the artistic curation is defined by the character of a community and serves it by reflecting it.  Music (and art) is both creation and perception — music and listener, orchestra and audience, one context to another.  We need each other.
