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.
Sydney Town Hall
With the freedom to move around and reduced lighting, this concert is especially for families, young children and those who are after a relaxed approach to the traditional concert experience.
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.
