The Australian National Academy of Music has announced the 2025 ANAM Set.

Eighteen emerging and established composers from across Australia and New Zealand have been commissioned to write a six-minute work for a duo or soloist for musicians in their final year at ANAM.

The 2025 ANAM Set composers are: Karlo Margetic, Joseph Franklin, Carolyn Schofield, Jane Sheldon, Louisa Trewartha, Ella Macens, Bryony Marks, James Rushford, Ian Munro, Matthew Hindson, Margery Smith, Aditya Bhat, Eli Simić-Pošić, Peter Højby-Morrison, Brenda Gifford, May Lyon, Maria Grenfell and Tristan Coelho.

The works for the 2025 ANAM Set will be premiered at the Abbotsford Convent next year in a string of performances from June to November.

This is the third iteration of the ANAM Set. At the end of 2025, the project will have commissioned 105 new works from Australian composers. 

ANAM Artistic Director Paavali Jumppanen said while the program was originally designed to end in 2024, the quality of applications left ANAM “absolutely compelled” to enable a new round of commissioning for 2025.
