BRUNSWICK MUSIC FESTIVAL
Managed by Across the Borders
The Brunswick Music Festival has been held annually
in March since 1989 and is one of Victoria's premier music
festivals and a major multi cultural event for Australia.
The festival is an integral part of a statewide circuit of
visual, sporting, culinary and performing art celebrations
held in the early months of the year - during Australia's
summer and autumn seasons.
Home to the Festival is the City of Moreland, one of the
most culturally diverse communities in Australia with 35%
of its residents born outside Australia and with many languages
other than English spoken in the home. Cultural activities
have produced a vibrant artistic community with a growing
emergence in the last decade. This influx of artists continues
to shape and change the cultural life of the City. Amidst
this colourful backdrop, the Brunswick Music Festival has
emerged, bringing world music to our doorsteps!
The primary focus of the festival is a program that showcases
ethnic, indigenous, acoustic and traditional music, featuring
local musicians alongside interstate and international guests.
Since the first Festival in 1989 the Brunswick Music Festival
has gained an enviable reputation for delivering a program
of high artistic integrity.... a unique program that crosses
culture, lifestyle and communication boundaries.
A growing audience has strengthened its reputation as one
of Australia's most significant presenters of world music
events.
The Brunswick Music Festival has been managed
by Across the Borders since 1989, and John McAuslan has been
Festival Director since 1995.

peace, understanding and cultural diversity.
