Brunch with the MSO

Overview

It turns out the National Gallery of Victoria's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces has inspired a whole lot more than just gallery hopping and art appreciation. First, there was a chocolate high tea with edible versions of historic Chinese sculptures; now, a one-off brunch set to a live Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) soundtrack inspired by the gallery's current Terracotta Warriors and Cai Guo-Qiang exhibitions.

A true feast for the senses, this Brunch with the MSO session takes over Supernormal on Tuesday, July 30, dishing up modern Japanese bites alongside a couple of impressive live performances.

Running from 9–11am, it'll see you tucking into plates like an assembly of pickled melon, wagyu bresaola and green chilli; a rice bowl with smoked trout, roe and celtuce (also known as Chinese lettuce) and that Andrew McConnell classic, the New England lobster roll.

Meanwhile, MSO cellist Michelle Wood will perform a solo rendition of Pablo Casals' 'Song of the Birds' in response to Cai Guo-Qiang's 10,000 birds installation Murmuration (Landscape) and Australian composer Richard Meale's stunning 'Cantilena Pacifica' is set to be performed by a string quintet.

Tickets clock in at $80 a head and include tunes, food and drinks: fresh yuzu soda, single origin filter coffee, Jasmine Dragon Pearls green tea and Champagne.
