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. These resources will be available on msoschools.com.au.
