WHAT'S ON

Saturday 6 December 2025

5:00pm- 6:30pm, TarraWarra Museum of Art and Cellar Door will remain open

Guests can visit the new exhibition ‘’The city wakes, The city sleeps’’ at the TWMA or the Cellar Door before the evening commences.

From 6:30 pm, meet in the TarraWarra Estate Foyer

On this special evening, an ensemble from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will perform in the new auditorium of the Eva & Marc Besen Centre—an acoustic experience that promises to be unforgettable.

Curated by MSO Section Viola Aidan Filshie, the program will featureMendelssohn’sString Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20—a masterpiece of chamber music and one of Mendelssohn’s most celebrated works. Written in 1825 for four violins, two violas, and two cellos, the piece was groundbreaking in creating the genre of the string octet. Each instrument plays its own part, coming together “in the style of a symphony.” Renowned for its brilliance, youthful energy, and mesmerising character, the Octet runs for 30 minutes—perfect for this intimate performance.

With only 60 seats available, this exclusive package includes dinner in the TarraWarra Estate restaurant, with return transport from Melbourne organised for your convenience.

We look forward to welcoming you to TarraWarra Estate for an evening of world-class music, fine wine, and exceptional food and hospitality. 

Proudly a supporting partner of the MSO and the joy they bring to all.
