Five days of expertly curated music performed by internationally celebrated artists, with thought-provoking conversations and culinary surprises on the side – that’s the Canberra International Music Festival. The Festival is delivered annually by Pro Musica Incorporated, a not-for-profit community organisation founded in the 1980s by the late Edith Butler and a group of music lovers, with a vision to nourish and contribute to the musical life of the nation’s capital and its region. Pro Musica’s mission is to challenge and excite audiences and to enrich the Australian art music community by presenting an innovative art music program of the highest quality.
