Melbourne Recital Centre

In 2024, Melbourne Recital Centre celebrated 15 years as Australia’s beating heart of live music—a place where sound meets soul and stories take centre stage.

Since opening in 2009, we’ve evolved beyond a venue. We are a cultural cornerstone, a creative force, and a community ignited by the power of music. Today, we are Australia’s preeminent destination for music in all its diversity, bringing together world-class artists and audiences to experience the raw, unifying power of performance.

Our vision is a thriving, creative future where music and storytelling are fundamental to the fabric of our lives. Our purpose is to amplify Australia’s diverse music ecology to connect people and inspire positive change.

Our spaces—the iconic Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, the intimate Primrose Potter Salon, and soon, the Peter and Ruth McMullin Beacon—are where extraordinary moments unfold.

At Melbourne Recital Centre, music is more than an art form—it’s a common language, a bond, and an invitation to belong. This is where magic happens, where music lives, and where, every day, we transform lives through shared live music experiences.

The extraordinary musical experiences that take place nearly every day of the year at Melbourne Recital Centre are only made possible thanks to the support we receive from our community of generous donors.

By making a tax-deductible gift to Melbourne Recital Centre today, no matter how large or small, you will play a crucial part in ensuring a bright, vibrant, and enriching future for music in our community.
