The world renowned ensemble will perform pieces by Mozart and Beethoven in the Lighthouse Theatre on the night of October 13 before performing two school concerts at the theatre on October 14.
MSO managing director André Gremillet said the concerts were part of the MSO’s commitment to taking classical music to rural areas.
“Regional tours are important to the MSO’s vision and the orchestra is committed to ensuring orchestral music is accessible to all Victorians,” Gremillet said.
“This tour is an opportunity for communities to enjoy the wonderful sounds of the MSO in local spaces.”
The MSO concerts are part of a big second half of 2015 for the Lighthouse Theatre.
