Overview

Join Canberra International Music Festival for five unforgettable days of music, where legendary musicians will grace the stages. Under the theme Liberte, they point to the political, historical, and cultural constraints faced by artists, celebrating their resilience and triumphs through their creations.

From French pipers to Finnish virtuosi, Schubert Leider at dusk, to sound art on boats at sunrise, the Canberra International Music Festival presents an unmissable program of classical and contemporary masterpieces for the discerning and daring listener.
