MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
A message from Arts Centre Melbourne
Arts Centre Melbourne and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are two important contributors to our city’s diverse cultural landscape.
The annual Sidney Myer Free Concerts continue to be one of the great community events of summer and this year is no exception.
These remarkable experiences combine great artists, fine music and a wonderful family atmosphere in Australia’s only purpose built outdoor concert venue, the nationally listed Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
I encourage you to bring your friends and family and make a night of it, spread out a picnic blanket and soak up the fun at this great night’s entertainment.
Enjoy.
Claire Spencer Chief Executive Arts Centre Melbourne
A message from the Minister for Creative Industries
Welcome to one of Melbourne’s iconic cultural events – Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s Sidney Myer Free Concerts.
A popular summer tradition that dates back to the 1920s, the concerts have supported hundreds of thousands of people to discover and revel in the beauty of classical music.
Each year our highly acclaimed MSO brings to life the work of some of the world’s greatest composers and provides an entrée into what it has in store for its upcoming season.
I hope the concerts inspire you to discover more great cultural experiences here in our creative state in the year ahead.
Martin Foley MP Minister for Creative Industries
A message from the University of Melbourne
The University of Melbourne is committed to supporting the central role Melbourne Symphony Orchestra plays in the cultural fabric of Melbourne. We’re privileged to partner with them for their free concert series in the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
We are proud to see so many of our alumni contributing, both as performers and conductors. We look forward to deepening our close relationship as the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music moves in next door to Melbourne Recital Centre in the Southbank Arts Precinct in 2018.
We hope you enjoy one of Melbourne’s brilliant musical traditions.
Professor Glyn Davis Vice-Chancellor University of Melbourne

A GIFT TO MELBOURNE THE SIDNEY MYER MUSIC BOWL
Sidney Myer died more than 80 years ago, but his legacy lives on in the Sidney Myer Fund, the business and philanthropic
activities of his family, and here, in the pristine surrounds of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
‘The Bowl’ is an intrinsic part of Victorian life and its cultural importance and architectural significance has seen it placed proudly on the Victorian Heritage List.
Since 1959, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra – thanks to the generosity of Sidney Myer and with the support of the University of Melbourne – has been able to provide beautiful music and memorable experiences for all lovers of music, lovers of culture and lovers of Melbourne.
On behalf of all of the Myer Family, we remember and thank Sidney Myer, and trust you too will remember him while enjoying another special evening under the stars.
Sid Myer AM Chairman Estate of Late Sidney B. Myer
