Welcome to the Monash Academy of Performing Arts website. The Academy delivers an exciting and adventurous program of performance in two seasons each year, bringing to our venues distinguished artists, both national and international. The vision of our Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Ed Byrne is to develop a culture of arts practice across various disciplines, defining Monash University as a centre of excellence in the arts. Working closely with the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, and the Centre for Theatre and Performance, the Academy plays a major role in the realisation of this vision. I look forward to seeing you at our presentations.
