The program draws together four composers from three continents, spanning the last 125 years.
The cool panache of Ravel's iconic string quartet and the gravitas of Barber's early masterpiece Dover Beach will meet with the music of two of Australia's most enduring and loved composers, Carl Vine and Richard Meale.
"MCO was so warmly welcomed by the Merimbula community last year that we're looking forward to returning," MCO artistic director Sophie Rowell said.
The tour also includes Mallacoota and it will be the MCO's third visit since the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires.
"I hope this amazing program both relaxes and inspires them," Ms Rowell said.
