Meet the Music

Meet the Music is the perfect way to introduce your students to the world of symphonic music and classical concert-going. Inspiring and educative, these lively performances feature some of the world's finest conductors and soloists performing music specially selected to correspond with the current music syllabuses.

Each program presents a fresh mix of the symphonic repertoire, including contemporary and Australian works. There's no better way to engage and excite your students and cover a range of topics in Years 7-10 and HSC music syllabuses than by bringing them to see and hear the full Sydney Symphony Orchestra live on stage at the Sydney Opera House.

Supported by an extensive program of workshops, pre-concert talks, presentations during the performance and teacher resource materials, Meet the Music is an ideal complement to your elective music program.

Concerts begin at 6.30pm with an optional pre-concert talk at 5.45pm in the Northern Foyer. Where possible, these talks involve the featured Australian composer, discussing the music from the concert and providing insight into the programmed work. These talks are intended to enhance both students' and teachers' concert experience. In addition, each concert is presented from the stage by Andrew Ford, award-winning writer, composer and broadcaster, and presenter of The Music Show on ABC Radio National

Performances finish at approximately 8.30pm - check the website for exact timings closer to the concert.
