About this performance
Spend a feel-good night with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, ABC presenters and special guests.
The Classic 100 is Australia’s favourite classical music event. Every year for over two decades, ABC Classic have asked music lovers to nominate their favourite pieces on a particular theme, counting down the results across an exciting weekend in June.
This year’s theme is ‘Feel Good' – the uplifting tunes that make you smile, the mood-boosting songs that get you through the day, and the music that soundtracks your life and soothes your soul. Experience highlights from the countdown live with this special MSO performance.
Conducted by Ben Northey, be a part of the audience for this special performance, filmed for ABC TV, iView and ABC Classic!
