Hans Zimmer Live: The Next Level @ Rod Laver Arena (10/2026)
Though I initially struggled with some of its artistic choices, the new live show from the legendary film composer ultimately lived up to its ambitious title and left me on a euphoric high once again.
MSO: Christian Li Plays Brahms @ Hamer Hall (10/2026)
My second time watching the young homegrown virtuoso perform at the Hamer Hall, plus the gorgeous Melbourne Symphony Orchestra rendition of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Suite.
Agnes Obel @ Hamer Hall (09/2026)
My first time seeing the bewitching Danish songstress live, with Hamer Hall the perfect setting for her singular, atmospheric, ghost-like chamber pop.
MSO: Organ Gala @ Melbourne Town Hall (09/2026)
I might have wished for a little bit more of the Grand Organ, but this anniversary concert celebrating 120 years of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was still quite special.
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.
Candlelight: The Lord of the Rings @ Collingwood Town Hall (05/2026)
This intimate musical celebration was a lovely way to mark the 25th anniversary of Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy and its iconic score.
New Music 04/2026 – Lucrecia Dalt, Sister Irene O’Connor
My two most recent purchases are a couple of odd birds from a Colombian experimental musician and an Australian nun.
MSO: The Music of James Horner @ Hamer Hall (03/2026)
