In 2026 ANAM celebrates 30 years of music making and training future leaders in classical music.
We are grateful to be hosted on land nestled in a bend of the Birrarung, a place that has held songs and stories for more than 30,000 years.
Over three decades, much has unfolded in ANAM’s life. From two organisational near-death experiences to navigating COVID with a community of highly motivated young musicians, and even collapsing roofs that forced relocation mid-lockdown, this anniversary offers a moment to pause and reflect.
To mark it, we’ve invited 30 people who have shaped ANAM to share their experiences. Together, these voices, one for each year, trace the organisation’s story, capturing its textures, sounds and spirit as we look ahead to our next chapter at South Melbourne Town Hall.
