About us
Cultural Infusion was founded in Melbourne in 2002 and has established itself as a leader in promoting intercultural understanding worldwide.
How it started
The genesis of our organisation began in the early 1990s when CEO Peter Mousaferiadis, a renowned composer, conductor and musical director, embarked on a quest to bring together musicians from an array of culturally diverse backgrounds and experiences in order to create exquisite orchestral music. From this passion, PAN International was created to deliver intercultural productions, servicing both corporate and community sectors and staging some of Australia’s biggest, wildest and most celebrated multicultural concerts and festivals.
Founding Cultural Infusion
Cultural Infusion was founded in 2002, and via its schools program, ascended quickly to become a noted industry leader, delivering cultural programs to more than 300,000 students per year. By 2015, Cultural Infusion expanded into the digital world, releasing award-winning apps Joko’s World and Sound Infusion.
culturally harmonious world
For nearly two decades, Cultural Infusion has established an impressive track record promoting intercultural understanding worldwide. Peter has established himself as a highly sought after global cultural thought leader.
75% of the world’s conflicts are reported to having a cultural dimension according to UNESCO. Rather than focusing on what tears us apart, we can focus on what draws us together and actually benefit from these differences.
Establishing The Foundation
The Cultural Infusion Foundation, a not-for-profit, charitable organisation, is supported by Cultural Infusion. The Foundation, its Board and its small, dedicated staff work to support disadvantaged people in Australia and internationally.
