MUSICA @ La Mama
Greetings to Friends of MUSICA @ La Mama.
Make a booking or try your luck at the door (around 7pm - it gets crowded these days), for a fabulous concert. Performances really do start at 7.30pm, so please don’t be late!
La Mama Theatre has long supported creative music, and is currently presenting
the MUSICA at La Mama concert series, with a performance every 4-6 weeks throughout the year.
The intimate space of Melbourne’s historic small theatre provides the opportunity to perform in a very special environment - encouraging unusual collaborations and opportunities unavailable in conventional music clubs - to explore and develop new work, or improvise amidst the set of the current theatre season.
It’s always an organic and exciting night at Musica - for audience and musicians alike…
free homemade cake, tea, coffee & good music and the new La Mama Bar - what more could you want?
Thank you for your support of local and live music, it’s always appreciated.
Kind regards from the Musica Committee: Anita Hustas, Adam Simmons, Adrian Sheriff & Annabel Warmington.
