Principal conductor Vasily Petrenko will conduct Ravel's Sheherazade and Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, as well as world premieres by Merseyside-born composers Kenneth Hesketh and John McCabe.
The performance will take place on 14 September and will be followed by a visit to the virtual Grand Foyer Bar in Second Life, where Petrenko, Hesketh and soloist Kate Royal will be on hand to chat and answer questions about the performance.
There are a limited number of spaces at the virtual event and the orchestra is asking people to register for a chance to win a free ticket.
