3MBS presents
Made in Melbourne
3MBS has increasingly developed new ways to deliver classical music that extend beyond traditional broadcasting. The station prides itself in supporting local musicians by providing performance opportunities, nurturing their professional development and showcasing their musical talents to a broad demographic of classical music lovers. In addition, it allows the music community to come together, share in these experiences, and connect with like-minded people.
Made in Melbourne (MIM) is a new annual program of live events showcasing some of Victoria’s finest classical artists. This events portfolio will support Melbourne musicians through a calendar of diverse and bespoke performances and encourage a greater connection with you, our dear music community, with music that you want to hear performed. MIM aims to engage artists of all ages and stages of their musical careers, showcase past and present Australian composers, produce programs that embrace diversity and access, and explore and challenge ideas to advance audiences’ understanding of classical music repertoire and programming.
