Strike A Chord 2025 competition open for entries

Musica Viva Australia’s national chamber music competition invites school students across Australia to share their passion for chamber music, whether just starting out or already experienced performers. Develop your skills, showcase your music, win prizes and, for those who progress to the final round of the Championship section, perform live at the National Final at Melbourne Recital Centre in August.

The competition is open to school-aged groups of 3 to 8 players — one per part, no conductor. Whether your group is entering the Foundation Section (up to AMEB Grade 4) or Championship Section (AMEB Grade 5 and above), every group receives written feedback from a jury of professional musicians.

Entries Close: Thursday, 29 May 2025

Finalists and Winners Announced: Friday, 20 June 2025

National Final: Saturday, 30 August 2025, at Melbourne Recital Centre For full details and to apply: musicaviva.com.au/strike-a-chord/
