The dramatic mountain ranges of Victoria’s Southern Grampians set the scene for three immersive days of world-class music-making at our flagship bespoke festival.
In 2025 we are joined by two outstanding guest artists—pianist Aura Go and soprano Sara Macliver—for a scintillating program of piano, voice and string quartet works. Musical highlights include Fauré’s Piano Quintet No.2, Beethoven’s monumental String Quartet No.13 in B-flat Major and Grosse Fuge, Amy Beach’s Piano Quintet, a selection of songs by Golijov including Tenebrae and How Slow the Wind, and Fauré’s exquisite song cycle La Bonne Chanson for voice, piano and strings.
If you seek a truly unique festival experience against one of Australia’s most iconic landscapes, then our Dunkeld Festival of Music is for you.
