Join me for an evening of live classical music at Hamer Hall as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performs Great Passions. The updated program now includes Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 4, with Jaime Martín conducting. Finnish pianist Paavali Jumppanen joins the orchestra for Mozart’s dramatic and expressive concerto, followed by the huge orchestral sound of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 4. Please note that this program has changed from the original listing: Nemanja Radulović is no longer performing Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto. The event is still listed by MSO as Great Passions. I’ll also be attending the 6:45pm pre-concert talk in the Hamer Hall Stalls Foyer, so the plan is to meet a little earlier, say hello, and then head in together. The talk should be a nice way to learn more about the music before the performance. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure meetup for anyone interested in orchestral music, whether you already attend classical concerts or just feel like trying something different. You’re very welcome to come solo. You can leave after the concert, or join for an optional dinner afterwards if the group feels like continuing the evening. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/xjaqi6gBm3z7q8ai7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xjaqi6gBm3z7q8ai7) Event: [https://www.mso.com.au/performance/2026-great-passions-radulovic-plays-khachaturian](https://www.mso.com.au/performance/2026-great-passions-radulovic-plays-khachaturian) Please check your eligibility for the promo code here: [https://www.mso.com.au/first-look-seats/first-look-seats-faqs](https://www.mso.com.au/first-look-seats/first-look-seats-faqs) **Rough timeline** * 6:20pm — Meet outside Hamer Hall * 6:45pm — Attend the pre-concert talk in the Hamer Hall Stalls Foyer * 7:30pm — Concert begins * Interval — Short break * 9:45pm — Concert finishes and meetup wraps up * Afterwards — Optional dinner nearby if people are interested **Tickets** You’ll need to purchase your own ticket for the concert. I’ve already bought mine. My seat is Stall R40, and I purchased it for $23 using the FIRSTLOOK promo code, though prices, seat availability, and promo eligibility may vary. Please check the official MSO event page and First Look Seats information before booking. First Look Seats are intended for first-time MSO audiences and have eligibility/availability conditions. **Important notes** * Please buy your own ticket before attending. * Ticket prices and availability may change. * The FIRSTLOOK promo code may not work for everyone, so please check eligibility before relying on it. * We’ll meet before the pre-concert talk, then head in together. * You’re welcome to leave after the concert if you don’t want to join dinner. * This is a social meetup to enjoy the concert together, not a formal music discussion group. **Other info** The concert runs for approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. The program features large-scale orchestral music, so it should be a strong choice for anyone curious about the drama and power of a full symphony orchestra.

That's where we're hosting Kismetrix Social — our most relaxed evening, designed for singles who want real conversation, good company, and a Saturday night that actually feels like one. Think less "dating event"… more a Saturday night you'd actually choose to go out for. ## 💫 ABOUT THE EVENT Tired of dating apps that go nowhere? Over environments that feel forced or awkward? So were we. KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, genuine connection\. You'll walk into a room full of people who: 🌻 Are open to meeting others 🌻 Enjoy good conversation and social energy 🌻 Prefer real-life interaction over apps 🌻 Are simply here for a good, intentional night out Come for a drink. Stay for the vibe. See where the night goes. ## 🌻 THE VIBE Picture it: warm lighting, hanging sunflowers above your head, the garden buzzing softly around you, and the kind of crowd where it's actually easy to start a conversation. Expect: 🌻 A welcome drink in your hand within a minute of arriving 🌻 A warm, hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost 🌻 Hosted introductions early in the evening to help conversations get started 🌻 Free-flowing mingling with light support from our hosts throughout the night 🌻 Conversation prompts on each table, if the room needs them 🌻 A relaxed, social crowd of intentional singles No rotations. No forced formats. No hookup-bar energy. Just a thoughtfully designed night under the sunflowers, with people who actually want to meet someone. ## 👥 AGE GUIDE: 28–45 Kismetrix Social is open to all singles who care about meaningful connection. We provide an age guide so you know what to expect — most of our guests will fall within this range. The focus of our events is intentional people, not strict age groups.

It's the easiest way to experience how we do things, and many guests go on to join our other events from here. ## 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES 🌻 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating 🌻 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue 🌻 Participation in introductions is always optional 🌻 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential 🌻 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable ## 🔗 STAY CONNECTED WITH KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION 📧 [social@kismetrix.com.au](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator) 🌐 [www.kismetrix.com.au](http://www.kismetrix.com.au/ "http://www.kismetrix.com.au") 📱 Follow us on Instagram, Facebook & Eventbrite 📄 Important Notice: By registering for this event\, you confirm that you have read and agree to Kismetrix \| True Connection's Terms & Conditions\, Privacy Policy\, Disclaimer and Code of Conduct\. 🤝 Collaborations: [collabs@kismetrix.com.au](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator)
