A celebration of some of Australia’s – and the world’s – finest living composers, Metropolis showcases the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s commitment to contemporary symphonic music.

In 2026, the MSO explores the fascinating world of Foley – the art of creating sound effects for film – in Thomas Meadowcraft's remarkable concerto.

You'll also hear music written for film by Australian composers Bryony Marks and David Hirschfelder.
