Welcome to the Australian Art Music playlist! A monthly playlist of classical, jazz, experimental and electronic music focused on contemporary Australian composers, musicians and sound artists.

The Necks, Trichotomy and Muses Trio.

This month trios are on the bill. Across a range from styles and locations, and an incredibly varied instrumentation, each of these works showcase the intricacy and communication that goes into this intimate musical form. Enjoy the wide range of genres and instrumentations from the gentlest soft movements to bombastic groove.
