From SATURDAY 24 MAY 2 .30PM
World class performing arts returns to ABC TV on Saturday afternoons – from the blockbuster Beethoven’s Ninth to the international cello-sensation Abel Selaocoe, who brings a kaleidoscope of rhythm and sound to his Australian debut with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
Episode 1 of 6: This week, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. After eight symphonies, Beethoven took his Ninth to a whole new level by composing the biggest symphony in existence at that time.
With severe hearing loss by this point, Beethoven’s landmark feat for choir and orchestra is best known for its epic finale of Ode to Joy. A star-studded line-up of soloists join the MSO, MSO Chorus and the 2024 Auslan Choir for this rousing performance.

ABC Showcase announced Front Row With Megan Burslem specials returning in 2026.
Will be a full season three or just specials?
Season two commenced last Saturday.
How’s this going to work in Victoria I wonder? The VFL is now on from 12pm-3pm every Saturday. They should have moved this to Sunday arvos after Gardening Australia. That’s when arts programmes used to air on the ABC.
The ABC has released the schedule for June 6. This is for Victoria.
I think that actually they’ve moved it to 3pm? That mso 50 years of abc classic is the first episode of Front row. They just didn’t call it front row for some reason?? Cos if you scroll up and read episode 1’s description it is that same concert. Wonder what time the network will line back up..
