New program and personnel prove a gamechanger for Musica Viva

Musica Viva Australia is a foundation story, an organisation that was effectively created by Jewish refugees who came to Australia after the Second World War.

Incoming Chief Executive Officer, Anne Frankenberg, tells Arts Hub: ‘Musica Viva is pretty much the only major Australian performing arts organisation that has people situated on the ground in nearly every state and territory. This gives us an opportunity to really feel like a national organisation. We tour in every Australian state and territory with our schools’ ensembles while our mainstage tours visit most states. Having a truly national reach is important and unique.’
