Utzon Music

Utzon Music 2026 celebrates the vibrant diversity of chamber music as it evolves across the centuries to the present day with a fascinating program that spans historically informed music to folk to electronica, improvisation and beyond. The program features musicians from Australia and abroad, many of whom will be making their Australian and Opera House debuts as they perform music from France, Iran, Japan, Sweden and other countries around the world. Early music will be heard alongside contemporary sounds and world premieres on a range of instruments, including the shakuhachi, the oud, the viola da gamba, guitar, cello and the human voice. Apart from one special performance in the Studio, all performances will take place in the intimate setting of the Utzon Room, combining transcendent musical experiences with glorious harbour views.
