Who we are

We are the raw orchestra of Melbourne. No concert halls, no tails. We play the classics with a contemporary edge.


Once Upon an Orchestra

Fate, love, myth, and adventure collide in an evening of powerful orchestral storytelling. This concert brings together iconic orchestral works that span theatre, ballet and cinema—each driven by unforgettable themes and bold orchestral colour.


Verdi: Overture to La forza del destino
Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Overture
Williams (arr. Robert W. Smith) Star Wars Epic Suite
Bartsch: Hope
Stravinsky: Berceuse and Finale from The Firebird Suite
