Recognising the importance of creating meaningful musical pathways for young Australians, the Di Jameson Family Foundation is delighted to support Strike A Chord, Musica Viva Australia’s national chamber music development program for secondary school students.

Through coaching, workshops, regional residencies and a national competition, Strike A Chord provides young musicians from across Australia with opportunities to develop their ensemble skills while building confidence, collaboration and a lifelong appreciation of chamber music. Around 700 students participate in the program each year.

A defining feature of the program is its commitment to equitable access. Strike A Chord actively encourages participation from regional, remote, low-ICSEA and First Nations communities, ensuring talented young Australians can benefit from high-quality musical experiences regardless of where they live.

DJFF’s three-year partnership (2026–2028) reflects a shared commitment to helping young musicians realise their potential through outstanding music education, mentoring and performance opportunities.
