Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

 

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) was established in 1906 - and the reason that they continue today is because they are constantly finding new ways to enter the heart of their audience. 

 

Due to their incredible programs and family friendly concert options no one is too young to be introduced to the MSO. Here are some of the incredible experiences you can enjoy with (or without!) the kids in the coming months.

Classic Kids: Stan and Mabel
