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.
