Deconstruct the classics in this unique music journey
Take a unique music journey with host and MSO cellist Nicholas Bochner. Nicholas, together with the musicians of the MSO, will deconstruct famous classical pieces so that you understand the context, history and story behind these well-known works. You will get into the mind of the composer, hear the musicians perform what is being explained, and dive into the pieces.
This program is proudly supported by TarraWarra Estate, who we’ve worked with to develop a ‘perfect pairing’ of classical works with selected wines for a truly multisensory home listening experience.
The videos will stay online permanently so you can re-watch them, share them with your friends, or play at a time that suits.

Find out what the 7th symphony is really about – a celebration of rhythm and dance.
Beethoven is a composer who, more than any before him, has themes recognisable by their rhythm alone, and this symphony takes that to a whole new level.
This performance is perfectly paired with TarraWarra’s vibrant and wonderfully-balanced 2018 Roussanne Marasanne Viognier – an excellent match for the lively dance-like rhythms.
