Melbourne Recital Centre is a performing arts venue in Australia that hosts a wide range of music performances and events. The facility includes two principal spaces—a 1,000-seat Elisabeth Murdoch Hall and a flexible 150-seat Salon—designed for high-quality acoustic presentations. Since its opening in 2009, the centre hosts more than 500 events each year, spanning classical, jazz, contemporary, pop, folk, opera, blues and world music. It serves artists, ensembles and audiences as a focal point for musical performance and related activities within the performing arts sector. Located on Sturt Street in South Australia, the organisation operates as a mid-sized institution focused on delivering diverse programming and opportunities for creators. In 2025, Melbourne Recital Centre partnered with The University of Melbourne and announced the Marshall McGuire Emerging Composer Commission, a new initiative aimed at supporting emerging composers.
