Music speaks to our hearts and souls. It transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, and at Musica Viva Australia allows us to: spark creativity through inc...

At Musica Viva Australia, we’re proud to be one of the world’s leading presenters of chamber music. Passionate about creating a vibrant musical future for Australia’s artists and audiences, we feel fortunate to nurture both established and emerging talent from around the country. We’re also committed to learning from our First Nations friends and colleagues how to most effectively include in our work the many peoples and languages that, together, comprise the oldest living culture in the world.

When we were founded in 1945, we existed as a single Sydney-based ensemble. Since then, we’ve grown to become a national organisation and a major force in Australian musical life, delivering concerts with the highest artistic standards, education, and artist development initiatives across the country.

Musica Viva Australia is committed to the future of classical music, and to being at the forefront of its evolution. Our dedication to the commissioning and programming of new Australian works is key to our vision, and through eclectic and thoughtful programming, we endeavour to lead the industry in presenting concerts that challenge and thrill all audiences.

Passionate about creating community through music, we are committed to bringing unforgettable shared experiences from extraordinary local and international musicians to our audiences in capital cities, regional centres, and remote communities.

As one of the leading providers of music education in Australia, Musica Viva has been proudly bringing music to schools for more than 40 years, helping shape the lives of generations of Australian children and reaching close to 300,000 students annually. Dynamic performances by culturally-diverse ensembles are complemented by comprehensive lesson plans, interactive content, and professional development for teachers, building the capacity of schools to inspire, teach, and instil a love of music. 

We are committed to identifying and developing new talent, whether it be secondary students, emerging artists, individuals from underrepresented groups, or ensembles on the brink of wide international recognition. Competitions, masterclasses, and professional development programs are just some of the ways we foster the careers of many of Australia’s finest musicians.

Now in our eighth decade, join us as we continue to exhilarate, inspire, and delight.
