Bringing you
the best in live classical music.

The program for this recital explores the musical sound-worlds of the homelands of ancestors prior to migration to Australia. Drawing inspiration from the tips of a family tree that reach back to the eighteenth century.

The Lyrebird Music Society aims to program and present entertaining and enjoyable concert performances in a range of musical styles, though focusing mainly on classical music of the last three centuries. We feature Melbourne performers primarily, but not solely: rising stars, established artists and ensembles, and occasionally some of the famous names of the Melbourne music scene, who no longer perform in public as often as they once did. The concerts are without interval, and the items are introduced in a personal and informal manner by the artists themselves. This is a cheap way of enjoying some of the best music-making that can be heard, in the beautiful surrounds of Wyselaskie Yuma Auditorium. An excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Concerts are held in the Wyselaskie Yuma Auditorium, part of the Uniting Church Centre for Theology and Ministry, situatedbetween St Hilda's College and Ormond College, in the University of Melbourne.
