Broadcast Club
Welcome to Musica Viva Australia's Broadcast Club
We understand that some of our audiences are no longer able to attend our evening concerts due to accessibility, availability, financial and location reasons. Musica Viva Australia’s Broadcast Club provides an opportunity for all to appreciate world-class chamber music performed and recorded in Australia, for those who wish to continue experiencing the joy that our concerts provide, no matter their circumstances. Prior to each broadcast, we send via email or mail, a concert guide (in large format, via mail), information about the time and date of the broadcast, and access information via the ABC Classic website.
This free service is intended to bring a little of the concert hall experience to anyone who wishes to join, whatever their level of engagement has been with us in the past.
