Canberra International Music Festival

The Canberra International Music Festival presents a 10-day festival of classical and contemporary art music in May each year, with programming unique to the national capital.

With memorable, inspiring and thought-provoking music, the 2023 Canberra International Music Festival paints a musical portrait of our contemporary world. Through the magic of music, the Festival invites its audience to find to the child inside all of us.

The 2023 Festival welcomes the superlative Brodsky Quartet from the UK and Quatour Van Kuijk from France, who will lead a stellar line-up of artists. Bringing together the Brodsky Quartet with didgeridoo master William Barton and the Australian Haydn Ensemble with tenor Andrew Goodwin and soprano Chloe Lankshear, the Festival will surprise and delight. Sonya Lifschitz and Alexander Gavrylyuk spell-bind on the concert grand and Katie Yap and James Wannan dazzle on the viola.
