Day Long Festival of Music
Melbourne Recital Centre is turning five and throwing you a party to celebrate.
Overview
This Saturday, February 8, Melbourne Recital Centre is turning five and they're throwing you a pretty sweet party to celebrate. From 10am-6.30pm, this beautiful goliath will be opening its doors for a full day of performances, talks and tours. The vacant lot next door will even be converted into a multi-purpose space to relax in featuring food trucks, local bands and miniature horses for kids (or everyone) to play with.
Both the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Chamber Orchestra will be filling up the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall alongside local folk, indie, and jazz outfits. The Salzer Suite will be the intellectual heart of the operation with lectures, Q&As and panels with the industry professionals such as Gillian Howell, Richard Mills, and Benjamin Woodroffe. Then, from 4.30pm Jonathon Welch will be directing a 1,200-person choir to bring the day to a grand and extravagant close.
