Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed more than 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music.

 

He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote: "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".

 

 

The Patma Music Family Concerts were established by renowned music educator, the late Nehama Patkin OAM in 2005.

 

Today the concerts are managed and produced by Patma Music Family Concerts, an incorporated not for profit organisation.

 

The Board of Management are committed to the continuation of the concert series as a way of honouring Nehama's legacy to the world of children's music. Our aim is to confirm these Sunday concerts as a vital part of the Melbourne Concert Calendar.

 

 

The Patma Music Family Concerts aim to provide high quality orchestral music for children that will engage and stimulate their imagination.

 

The concerts encourage energetic interaction between the audience and the orchestra, taking the whole family on a fun musical journey.

 

A special charm of these concerts is the pre-concert activities.
