The Sidney Myer Free Orchestral Concerts in the Music Bowl are one of the
highlights of the Melbourne Summer. The businessman and philanthropist
Sidney Myer left a trust to
benefit the people of Melbourne and Australia. Not only did this trust make
possible the building of the public Music Bowl, it continues to continues to
contribute to the quality of life of Melburnians through works and events such
as the annual free concerts.
Gates open at 4pm and the concert starts at 7pm. White Hat recommends you get
there early because, if the weather is fine it can fill quite quickly. This is
the ideal place to have a champagne picnic with friend under the stars while
listening to classical music. You are allowed to bring reasonable amounts of
food and alcohol but no breakable glasses, sharp objects, or seating which
obstruct the view of others. Before you decide to turn it into a fully-fledged
camping expedition we suggest you check the
conditions of
entry.
