The young musicians of the USA
G’day from Down Under!
Where are you?
You should be in Sydney at the Australian International Music Festival.
I’m here!
There’s no doubt there is much for you to choose from as far as festivals and competitions go, but there is nothing like AIMF; it is second to none.
Yes, I can tell you all about the wonders of Sydney – the Opera House, the spectacle of Sydney Harbour and the delight of Darling Harbour and all things “Aussie” – but it’s the event too. It’s full of music making, music sharing and joy!
The venues are first class, the faculty members are world class and the festival folk are Aussies – what more could you ask for?
It’s a great package – fine music, outstanding venues and events, all wrapped up in Sydney.
You should be here – this is our invitation to you. We hope to share our joy with you in July 2017 at the Australian International Music Festival, Sydney.
Cheers!
