BEAMS is a concert of new music by emerging composers, illuminating pathways of sound and connection. BEAMS connects composers, performers, and audiences through works that glow with urgency, curiosity, and vision.

Showcasing a bold selection of original works, this free event offers a platform for fresh voices in contemporary music. Shining solos, radiant vocal textures, and electric ensemble works cast luminous beams — vaulting across the space to uncover new perspectives.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine.

ACCESSIBILITY

All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. To read more about access services available at our venues, please visit: https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/access-our-events.
