Crescendo: A special night of live classical music at PRACC

Whittlesea council is introducing a one-night-only concert to shine a light on some of the most talented local musicians.

The event will take place on Wednesday August 20, at 7pm, at the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre (PRACC).

The performance is part of the 2025 PRACC season and is the first classical music concert of its kind to take place at PRACC.

It will feature 11 curated performances, including soloists, duos, and chamber ensembles, with a wide range of musical instruments and styles.

Audiences can look forward to performances from flautist Livia Judge, pianist Jon Mouskis-Morrison, the French horn quartet Horns of Plenty, and violinists Najia and Naamah Hanna, along with many more outstanding local artists.

Lifelong fans of classical music and newcomers to the genre are invited to experience the powerful and moving performances Crescendo has to offer.

Mayor Martin Taylor said Crescendo is an exciting new addition to Whittlesea’s cultural calendar, bringing world-class classical music to the community in an accessible, affordable way.

“I encourage everyone to come along and be moved by the incredible talent on display,” he said.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at pracc.com.au
