Utzon Music

Utzon Music 2025 celebrates human curiosity and discovery, welcoming a cast of wildly gifted musicians performing chamber music of European, Norwegian, Persian, Scottish, and contemporary Australian ancestry.  The program features several vibrant duos, a sublime solo cello recital and three larger constellations — a German a cappella sextet, a Persian classical ensemble and a Norwegian hardangar fiddle-led band. 

The program is set in the beautiful Utzon Room. Here warm timber, Utzon’s vibrant tapestry and a stunning view of the harbour combine to create a perfect listening space. Sip on a crisp glass of champagne, sit back, relax and enjoy the music.

“Culture’s a vibrant conversation between the past, the present, and our imagined futures. It’s a vital human agreement across generations about what we hold dear, how we honour different histories, and how we might evolve. Utzon’s own listening room is a perfect place for intimate experiences of this conversation, embodied in music. Listening together, we join an age-old, communal discovery of who we are, and who we dream of becoming.”  - Genevieve Lacey, Curator of Utzon Music 2025
