Cameron Lam collects the latest releases across Classical, Jazz, and Sound Art in this month’s Australian Art Music playlist.

An original take on Ravel’s ballet, whatever you might call it.

Making their Australian debut, Bristol's Ishmael Ensemble showcase their atmospheric, reverb-heavy soundscapes and brilliant command of texture and form.

Terrific riffing, telepathy and artistry from French reed virtuosi NoSax NoClar.

Seventeen organisations receive funds to "strengthen core operations and professional skills development" in the contemporary music sector.

A masterful overview of an eccentric but brilliant composer/arranger.

Though there are signs of belt-tightening, there's plenty to look forward to and anniversaries to celebrate in the Australian arts in 2025.

Essential holiday listening includes a Britten rarity, stunning recordings of Elgar and Tippett, a pair of oddball operas, and three outstanding discs of orchestral music by women.

Cameron Lam reflects on the releases and re-releases of 2024 and brings together some highlights in this month’s playlist.

Being a composer is not about sitting in a room writing complex symphonies, says Matthew Hindson. It's about making music that connects.

With tracks designed to create a sense of tranquillity amid chaos, Emily Granger and Edwardes hope their new project, Magic Sky, can help listeners toward healing.

Brilliant recordings of works by Messiaen, Elgar, Schumann and Debussy – and of a near forgotten opera – top this year's poll of Limelight's critics.
