Musica Viva Festival 2008


 

Welcome to Sydney's first chamber music festival!

The inaugural Musica Viva Festival will turn Sydney into a living chamber music hothouse, combining some of Australia's most accomplished musicians and students with stellar international artists to create five days packed with concerts, masterclasses, seminars and other events spread across the city.

The Festival, running from 8-12 October 2008, will be closely linked to the Australian Youth Orchestra's 2008 Chamber Music Camp which brings together dozens of young musicians from around the country for a period of intense study with leading exponents in the field. The outcome of this remarkable process will be celebrated with a stream of performances by the students and their mentors.

Ticket packages are on sale now! Click here for more information.

Tickets for single events will go on sale at 9.00am, 7 April 2008.

Events will be held at the City Recital Hall Angel Place, The Barnet Long Room at Customs House, St James' Anglican Church and the Justice & Police Museum.
