New Music 08/2026 – Rosalía, Cate Le Bon
I’ve been in a mood for some artsy, experimental avant-pop. These two albums are not musically alike, but they definitely share the same adventurous spirit.
MSO: Storm & Serenity @ Hamer Hall (05/2026)
The absolute stars of this Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concert, featuring music from Mozart, Beethoven and more, were the most animated conductor I’ve ever seen, and a big beautiful shiny horn.
MSO: Winter Gala – Lang Lang @ Hamer Hall (07/2025)
My classical streak continued with this very special evening. This time, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra teamed up with the Chinese piano superstar for a night of Ravel, Saint-Saëns and Mussorgsky.
MSO: A Reflection in Time @ Hamer Hall (06/2025)
Another wonderful night with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, featuring the ultimate tearjerker, a local violin wunderkind, and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5.
MSO: Vivaldi and More @ Hamer Hall (04/2025)
Who doesn’t love Vivaldi’s Four Seasons? It’s one of my favourite pieces of classical music, and it was amazing to hear it live as performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
MSO: The Planets @ Hamer Hall (03/2024)
A magical evening at the Arts Centre, where I finally got to experience one of my all-time favourite classical suites, Gustav Holst’s The Planets.
Mozart Requiem by Candlelight @ St Paul’s Cathedral (04/2023)
Mozart’s final masterpiece is one of my all-time favourite classical works, and it sounds even better when framed by the gothic splendour of St Paul’s Cathedral.
MSO: Beethoven Symphony No. 9 @ Hamer Hall (07/2022)
Good things come to those who wait! I got tickets for this Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concert all the way back in October last year, and experiencing Beethoven’s epic final symphony live was truly worth the wait.
New Music 07/2021 – Fanny Lumsden, Carpenters, Mozart
