It has been a very full
and rewarding first semester for the orchestra, including the inaugural Solo
Soirée showcasing MMO's many fine soloists, and the
highly successful Autumn Concert, Revolutions. MMO's
performance at the Australasian Student Selection for the Health Professions
Conference in April was well-received by a room full of esteemed guests, and
just last week, we played for over 1000 excited
medical students at one of the world's largest student-run conferences, the
Australian Medical Student Association Convention.
Looking forward
In August, small groups
formed by orchestra members and special guests will bring you an evening of
chamber music at the Chamber Concert. This
semester, we are also privileged to be invited to tour in beautiful Gippsland,
home to Monash's post-graduate medical
students. Bringing our music into the rural community has long been a dream of
the MMO, and we are especially honoured to
be playing for the people of Latrobe Valley, who have endured much hardship in
recent years due to the fires at Hazelwood Mine. MMO's
2015 season will conclude with our full-orchestra Spring Concert in September -
a particularly special occasion that coincides
with the orchestra's 5th anniversary.
