Let the Music In
On Wednesday 18 November, we celebrate 45 years of Musica Viva Australia in Schools with our second Giving Day, live from 8am to 8pm AEDT.
Every donation made on the day will be matched.
For 45 years, Musica Viva Australia in Schools has brought live music to students across Australia, including more than 190,000 students in 672 schools in 2025 alone.
Imagine a school hall full of children.
The room falls silent.
Then – music. A violin sings. A rhythm takes hold. Musicians communicate without words.
And for some children, this is the first time. The first time they've seen real instruments.
Felt the electricity of live performance.
Heard music – like this – at all. But there are still children who haven’t heard it yet. And whether they do shouldn’t depend on their postcode. The music is ready.
They’re just not in the room yet. And you never know where it might lead.
A first note could lead to a first music lesson.
A pattern could make maths click.
A moment of wonder could grow into a lifelong love of music. This Giving Day, open the door. Let's fill the room.
Let the music in - you never know what it might say.
