Minogue joins the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for its triumphant two-day show in celebration of live music and the arts returning to Melbourne.
Celebrating the end of lockdown, the return of live music to Melbourne for the summer and the resilience and community spirit of the city, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has just added Aussie icon, Dannii Minogue, to the stellar Performance of a Lifetime: LIVE lineup for 2021.
Taking its name from the heartwarming vaccine awareness campaign launched by the city’s arts industry earlier this year, the young Minogue sister will feature alongside the already announced all-star line-up of performers from across Melbourne’s live music, arts companies and theatre shows for the epic concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on December 13-14 this year.
Minogue said she is excited to be making her MSO debut as part of this celebratory performance.
“It is an honour to be joining the MSO at the iconic Bowl. What a way to kick off summer in Melbourne alongside the incredible line-up,” says Dannii Minogue.
“We are ready to celebrate the return of live music and it will be beautiful to sing with a home crowd. I can’t reveal what I will be singing but I am ready to get on stage with the MSO!”
