Now this will be music to your ears. Melbourne Recital Centre has opened up the doors to its intimate Salon on one Monday each month, from March to December, for FREE open rehearsals featuring the very best of Melbourne's chamber musicians.



On these monthly Mondays, the artists will take this opportunity to rehearse new works, new programs and try out new ideas in this informal open and free event. The beauty is that if you work in the city or happen to be in there on the right day, you can just turn up any time during the session.

The doors will simply be open, so you come and go as you please. Although I would imagine you would try to minimise any disruptions to the fine music. Hear your favourite artists or discover some new favourites, who knows what treasures you will hear by coming along.

But note, these aren't concerts. Rather they have been described 'as an insight into the secret workings of our finest ensembles and performers – a rare treat to witness the creation of a new program.'



The performance goes for a solid hour and there is no interval. You don't even need tickets. As mentioned you simply drop in.

Here is what is in store for you.
