About this performance
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra returns to Bunjil Place with a powerful program of contemporary Australian music – alive with stories of land, water, memory and identity.
At the heart of the concert are works from the MSO First Voices program, alongside music by a new generation of Australian composers. Together, these pieces reflect the many ways we understand place – through culture, through environment, and through the communities we live in.
From the moments of stillness and reflection to surging, elemental energy, this is orchestral music that speaks to now: grounded in Country, shaped by diverse perspectives, and open to everyone.
Whether you're discovering this music for the first time or returning to hear something new, this is an invitation to experience the orchestra in a different way – closer to home, and connected to the world around us.
