Make Music Possible

For forty years, Melbourne String Ensemble has given Melbourne's young musicians the chance to perform serious, substantial repertoire. None of it happens without the people who choose to support us.

Why give?

FUND A MUSICIAN'S JOURNEY

Your support gives young musicians access to
expert tuition, masterclasses, quality instruments, and repertoire they might not otherwise reach - the foundation every MSE musician builds on.

BRING STRING MUSIC TO NEW COMMUNITIES

Sponsorship helps fund MSE's community outreach projects, bringing live string performance to audiences who might not otherwise encounter it.

the Proms Recitals, to hosting visiting ensembles like Germany’s JungesKammer Orchester, your support helps MSE take its music beyond Melbourne and welcome the world in return.
