Music has the power to move us.
Even unfamiliar tones make us feel deeply. The hush before the first note, to the rush of a standing ovation. The jolt of recognition when a melody sparks a memory.
In 2026 the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra celebrates its 120th anniversary with a bold new look and renewed commitment to bringing music to more people across Victoria.
For 120 years, we have shaped the sound of our city. Our music is a living, breathing record of our legacy – from the echoes of our past to the whispers of our future.
Because sound isn’t just heard. It’s seen. It’s felt. It’s best enjoyed together. It moves... and it moves us.
Experience music that truly moves you. Experience the MSO.
