In response to the ban imposed by the Victorian State Government, we regret that all MSO concerts between Monday 16 March and Monday 13 April, inclusive, will not proceed. Cancelled and rescheduled concerts are listed below.
We will, however, keep the music going. Beginning with tonight at 7pm, we invite you to join us on the MSO YouTube channel to enjoy a free live stream of our performance of Scheherazade. We are working to live stream additional performances over coming weeks and we look forward to performing for you digitally.
If you are a ticket holder to an upcoming concert(s) until 13 April, we will contact you via email in coming days.
If you hold a ticket to an MSO concert, instead of requesting a refund, we would ask you to consider donating the value of your ticket, to enable us to live stream more free events and continue the mission of the MSO, to enrich lives through music. Please email our Box Office at [email protected] if you would prefer to do this and we thank you in advance if you choose to donate during this uncertain period.
Ensuring the wellbeing of MSO audiences, musicians and staff – including those integral members employed on casual and contract bases – is our priority. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are committed to ensuring the longevity and sustainability of the MSO and will continue to support workers and musicians through this uncertain period.
Note, with the temporary closure of Arts Centre Melbourne, our Hamer Hall Box Office will remain closed for now. Our Box Office can be contacted on (03) 9929 9600 (Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm) however we politely request enquiries be directed to [email protected] where we can attend to them as quickly as possible. We will prioritise concerts in date order. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
If you hold MSO tickets purchased through one of our venues, please visit the relevant venue website for information on applicable refunds.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
