Virtuosity Guaranteed

Musica Viva is the world's largest chamber music entrepreneur staging thousands of concerts every year, bringing the joy of live music to more than half a million Australians annually.  Unlike many music organisations which are represented by a single group of performers, Musica Viva is a presenter of hundreds of different musicians every year, as radically diverse as traditional English choirs and Japanese drumming ensembles.

What sets Musica Viva apart, in a class of its own in the performing arts arena, is the organisation’s ‘twin hearts’ – Concerts and Education.  The company’s goals of quality, diversity, challenge and joy are woven throughout each and every one of Musica Viva’s Concerts and Education programs.
