Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Symphony of Stories

Celebrate Children’s Book Week with a lively 45-minute musical adventure at State Library Victoria. Presenter and composer Lee Bradshaw joins four Melbourne Symphony Orchestra musicians to bring A.A. Milne’s Four Poems and Prokofiev’s beloved Peter and the Wolf to life, blending storytelling, imagination and the thrill of live instruments. The performance runs from 11.15am to 12pm on Saturday 22 August 2026 and is designed for children aged 3 to 12. Tickets are $12 for both adults and children. Every child must attend with a parent or carer, who must remain for the session. The library has accessible facilities; contact the venue on 03 8664 7000 for individual access needs.
