Vision

On November 4th, 2023, a quartet of players from the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra are visiting Mallacoota. These are some of the finest musicians in the land, led by violinist, Sophie Rowell, and award winning Baritone, Stephen Marsh.

They will be performing a concert for the Mallacoota community at 2.30pm at the Mallacoota Golf and Country Club

In addition, the MCO players will participate in a collaborative workshop and presentation with our local musicians, young and old.
