Thank you, Sidney Myer | Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

To say that Sidney Myer has left a legacy is an understatement. During his time as President of the MSO in the 1920’s, he established and funded our free outdoor concerts.
In 2024, we mark 90 years since the passing of his passing, and also 95 years of free outdoor concerts by the MSO and 65 years in the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
The MSO is honoured to be a custodian of Sidney Myer’s legacy, performing to around 30,000 people each year in this splendid venue.

You don't serve music by siding with murderers.
Here in Australia, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has canceled the performance of acclaimed pianist Jason Gilham after he dedicated a piece to the historically unprecedented number of journalists who have been killed in Gaza since October. The MSO called this dedication an "intrusion of personal political views on what could have been a morning focused on a program of works for solo piano," adding that the MSO "understands that his remarks have caused offense and distress" and offers a "sincere apology."
Forever shame on this orchestra for supporting genocide and the murder of journalists.
