Music

How much creativity can one artform deliver?

Music is art that simply doesn’t know where to stop. It paints endless images, stirs our deepest emotions, insists we dance or sing along, inspires legendary performances, entertains us across the day and claims eternal space in our heads. A simple tune will stay in our memory forever.

Australian music is a wonderful journey, from rousing colonial ballads to symphonic performance to New Wave punk. It’s rich in talent and boundless in range, blending cultures and forms to create exciting new genres. It thrives in our schools, brings our communities together, showcases our talent to the world, and nourishes our imaginations. It gives all Australians - whatever their tastes - an interest in the arts, whether creating, performing, or listening for pleasure.

Australian music expands the soundtrack of our lives.
