PRESENTED BY ORCHESTRA VICTORIA

The launch of our 2025 Southbank Series is a curated celebration of our orchestra’s exceptional talent.

These performances will take place at The University of Melbourne’s prestigious Hanson Dyer Hall, renowned for its superb acoustics. This series offers a rare opportunity to hear our orchestra members take centre-stage—a departure from their usual work partnering in ballet and opera. Featuring a dynamic mix of beloved core orchestral works and contemporary compositions, each concert is designed to captivate both seasoned classical music lovers and newcomers alike, honouring orchestral tradition and embracing modern works.
