Welcome to The Boite
Description
The Boite celebrates Australia’s amazing cultural diversity through a prolific program of festivals, events, radio programs, CDs and publications. Its dedicated staff using specialist expertise developed over 26 years have presented and promoted hundreds of excellent musicians, dancers, writers and storytellers at thousands of events. These range from over 1,200 intimate concerts by the fire at the Boite World Music Cafe to 10 major concerts at the Melbourne Concert Hall to audiences of over 2,000.
Many of the artists we deal with have fled their homelands looking for a new life in Australia. We do what we can to make them feel welcome and offer support and advice to practice their artform. We are dedicated to building bridges between cultures and look for opportunities to make creative spaces attractive to people from many communities.
Our main areas of concern are the encouragement of creative development, provision of professional performance opportunities for artists, encouragement of audience development, not only in numbers and box office takings, but in the development of awareness, knowledge and respect for the work of the artists, and a love of good music.
