Musica Viva Manawatu, located in Palmerston North, is a music group for people who enjoy live performances and whose preference is for music of an enduring quality.
Each month from March to December we hold a concert with performers drawn from our membership. Concerts can include occasional guests. Each concert is usually held on the second Monday of each month in the Evelyn Rawlins Room, first floor, Square Edge at 7.30.
Come and enjoy the musical sounds of many eras and styles performed by local pianists, instrumentalists, singers, soloists and ensembles.
We warmly welcome New Members, performers and listeners alike.
