Program online in October 2010!
The Murray River International Music Festival is the inspired initiative of brothers, Sergio and Stefano de Pieri along with Festival Director, Helen Healy.
Through their extensive work in and passion for the Murray River regions they identified the opportunity to feature regional food and wine along with outstanding international musicians in beautiful Murray River locations.
Over the past 6 years the group has presented a series of concerts up and down the length of the Murray where patrons get to listen to beautiful music in beautiful locations accompanied by regional food and wine.

In 2011 it just gets better!
The Festival opens with a performance of the Telemann Paris Quartets over two nights with nos. 1, 2 & 3 on Monday January 24th and nos. 4,5,& 6 on the following night. Featuring Julia Fredersdorff on violin; Laura Vaughan on viola da gamba; Greg Dikmans on flute and Ann Morgan on harpsichord, the quartet performs the Paris Quartets which have a classical beauty of form and charm and sensitivity of melody which delight the intellect and move the heart.
Held in one of the most beautiful gardens you’ll ever see in regional Australia, along with the food and wine of the region, audiences will be graced by the sounds of the finest Australian players performing the
pinnacle of baroque chamber music.
The Festival is held in Mildura from January 24th until Sunday 30 when
soprano Greta Bradman (described as an “exceedingly intelligent and perceptive musician” and one of “Australia's finest young singers) performs as part of a collaboration with the Mietta Foundation Song Competition in which she was a finalist in 2010.
These events will sell out so get in early.
A patron from Toorak, Victoria summed it up well in 2008 by exclaiming
“World Class Food, World Class Wine and World Class Music - all here in Mildura – who would have believed it”
