Founded in 1991, the event is the largest festival dedicated to chamber music in the southern hemisphere, also featuring tours of regional and remote Australia, fine food, master classes for musicians and lecture series by international scientists themed on the Great Barrier Reef. Aiming to act against contemporary trends in symphony orchestra programming, the festival focuses on staging works by local Australian musicians. Concerts recorded at the AFCM are broadcast nationally on ABC Classic FM regularly throughout the following year.
