2021 Canberra International Music Festival

Vienna. The city where Schubert and Strauss were born. The place where Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven made history. The opera house that Mahler transformed for the 20th century. The circles where Schonberg foreshadowed the tragedy of two world wars.

In 2021, CIMF brings the music of Vienna to Canberra, performed by an exceptional cast of Australian artists.

Over ten glorious autumn days, music becomes your guide to Canberra’s cultural treasures.

Open your heart to our cool little capital.

CIMF’s first priority is the health and safety of patrons, artists, staff and volunteers – for more information on CIMF’s COVID-safe plan please head to our website.

Please note that due to COVID-19 restrictions events may be subject to change. This includes changes in artists, venues and programming. In 2021 available seating at CIMF events will be limited due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions. We encourage all patrons to book early to avoid disappointment. Wait-lists will be established to provide for the release of additional tickets when restrictions ease.
