5th World Forum on Music

More than a conference, more than a music festival, this event pushes the boundaries of musical debate, discussion and performance.

Experience a unique and inspiring Forum program featuring plenary sessions, breakouts, exhibitions, video installations, workshops, masterclasses, project presentations and more. See some of Australia’s and the world’s best performers in world music, classical and art music, popular, jazz and electronica.

For time out, enjoy a beverage at one of the Forum social hubs: the WFM5 bar, Musical Library and World Café.

Don’t miss it for the world…
