It is with huge disappointment that we announce that the Canberra International Music Festival has cancelled its 2020 festival due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).
From 1 - 10 May 2020, the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra were to be Festival Artists at the Canberra International Music Festival. The orchestra and its musicians were to perform seven concerts during the festival.
Patrons will be advised directly by the Canberra International Music Festival box office regarding the issuing of refunds for tickets purchased for the festival performances.
