Musica Viva Season 2026

Lift your spirits. Delight your senses. Fly.

In 2026, Musica Viva Australia invites you to look forward to five concerts at Newcastle City Hall featuring favourites and new friends.

The year begins when a new piano trio takes flight as Aura Go, Timo-Veikko Valve and Kristian Winther discover Beethoven and Ravel; London’s Doric String Quartet meets Australian clarinettist Lloyd Van’t Hoff for some musical alchemy; Leila Josefowicz and John Novacek unleash the magic of music for violin and piano by Debussy and Stravinsky; cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and lutenist Thomas Dunford explore music for a French king and pianist Paul Lewis puts Mozart under the microscope to discover endless new wonders. 

Join Musica Viva Australia in 2026, with a season to lift your spirits and expand your horizons.

We are delighted to announce the following concerts will be held in the Concert Hall at Newcastle City Hall:
