There’s a particular kind of experience that can only happen when a large group of people breathe, listen, and move as one. It can’t be rushed or replayed. The hush before the first note of a concert, the shared focus of musicians and audience, and the collective exhale at the end – it’s not something you can experience through headphones or a screen. You have to be in the room.
These moments come to life at the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s Symphony Series. Eight concerts across the year at the Adelaide Town Hall showcase the orchestra at full strength – it’s the ASO in its most expansive form, with the entire ensemble on stage, tackling some of the most exhilarating music ever written.
The Symphony Series is where Adelaide meets its orchestra. Local audiences, international guest artists, and ASO musicians come together in performances that feel both monumental and deeply human. From sweeping symphonies to music charged with drama, tension, and release, each concert reveals what’s possible when dozens of musicians commit to a single shared moment.
More than anything, this is a series to simply feel. You don’t need to know what to listen for, recognise a composer’s name, or have ever been before. Just bring your attention and let the sound take over.
Whether you’re new to orchestral music or returning for something bigger, Symphony Series offers eight opportunities to experience the ASO as it was meant to be heard. Come hear your city’s orchestra in full voice, creating a sound that belongs to Adelaide and to everyone in the room.
