The Melbourne Athenaeum Inc.'s 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held at 1pm, Monday 15 April, in the Melbourne Athenaeum Library.
For more information please refer to the events page or speak to a staff member.
Much of our city’s standing as Australia’s cultural capital can be traced back to the Melbourne Athenaeum and the role it played in the early promotion and development of music, visual arts, literature and theatre.
Events Program
The Melbourne Athenaeum Library provides a remarkable ambience for intimate live music performances, author talks and book launches.
Some of Melbourne’s most acclaimed classical, jazz and contemporary artists have enjoyed performing amongst the bookshelves, with Inventi Ensemble artistic director Ben Opie saying that the musicians also enjoy the chance to chat with the audience after a performance.
Emerging and established writers also love the historic setting for reading and discussing their work.
Event performances are included in a Melbourne Athenaeum membership and members’ guests can attend for a nominal fee.
