South Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
The South Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is one of Melbourne's oldest community orchestras, with a continuous record of performing in the South Melbourne Town Hall since its formation in 1946.
The South Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is an amateur orchestra, managed by a committee of its members. Usually four concerts a year are performed in the South Melbourne Town Hall, with about ten rehearsals for each concert. Through the generosity of the City of Port Phillip and the Australian National Academy of Music, the orchestra has the use for both rehearsals and concerts of the South Melbourne Town Hall. Built late in the 19th century, this magnificent old building - now fully restored - has acoustic properties as good as can be found anywhere.
Concertos have been performed with instruments from all four orchestral families - strings, woodwind, brass and percussion - and have ranged from the Baroque era, through the Classical and Romantic periods and into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Rehearsals are held at the South Melbourne Town Hall.
