Relaxed Classics with the Sydney Symphony
A relaxed concert experience open to all
Experience the magic of a live symphony orchestra performing some of the most beautiful music ever written, in a laid-back concert environment open to all.
With the freedom to move around, reduced lighting and a separate quiet space, this relaxed concert is especially for families, young children and those who find the traditional concert experience hard to navigate.
We welcome anyone who would prefer a low-stress morning performance – including parents and carers with babies, and children of all ages – to experience the magic of live orchestral music for themselves.
Featuring a selection of beloved classical masterpieces including Max Richter’s reimagining of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Ravel’s mesmerising Bolero, plus highlights from Mendelssohn’s magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Bizet’s passionate Carmen and more, led by Conductor in Residence Benjamin Northey, it’s the perfect way to surround yourself with this beautiful music.
