The orchestra's name, Musica Viva, is derived from the Latin phrase "living music," which reflects the ensemble's commitment to bringing classical music to life through their performances. From its humble beginnings as a small group of musicians, Musica Viva has grown into one of Australia's most respected and beloved classical music ensembles.
