Vocal Ensemble - 20th Anniversary Celebration!

For two decades, the Vocal Ensemble class has been a cornerstone of training and performance excellence for young artists. Under the direction of pianist Andrea Katz, the ensemble has served as a vital stepping stone for a new generation of opera and concert performers making their mark in Australia and around the world.

To mark this milestone, the program has been specially curated by the ensemble’s members. Join us for an inspiring evening featuring opera and oratorio favorites by Mozart, Beethoven, Bizet, and Offenbach, alongside the vibrant and moving Misa Criolla by Argentinian composer Ariel Ramírez .

PARKING 

The City of Melbourne has 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 

We are committed to making our events accessible and will accommodate requirements wherever possible. All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. Please contact us at fineartsmusic-tickets@unimelb.edu.au if you have any questions.
