Australian cellist Richard Narroway’s new ABC release is a smasher!

Ensemble Offspring are again the unrivalled champions of new Australian music in 2024, with 12 world premieres.

The Australian Art Music monthly playlist by composer Cameron Lam reflects on the rich Australian repertoire for the harp, and the harpists who championed it.

Cameron Lam’s Australian Art Music playlist is all vibes this month, as he explores ambience, mood and grooves across Classical, Jazz and Sound Art.

Cameron Lam continues his instrument-focused series in this month’s Aussie Art Music playlist, with a spotlight on the piano.

The Orchestra will tour with three historically-informed mainstage performances across Australia's east coast, as well as a program that blends classical music with contemporary Australian practice.

Launching over 20 world premieres from emerging and established Australian composers, the ensemble touts new music across NSW and Victoria, as well as internationally in Helsinki and Berlin.

With a program boasting Beethoven, Scriabin, Rimsky-Korsakov and five world premieres from Australian composers, Chief Conductor Jessica Cottis and the CSO paint a colourful portrait in their 2023 season Chroma.

Throughout the second half of the year, UKARIA will draw some of the finest Australian and international musicians to the Adelaide Hills.

Cameron Lam started out looking at the sky and pondering the stars, but his thoughts quickly turned to contemplations of death, mourning, bird song, and distant landscapes.

December’s playlist is entirely constructed from 2021 releases. It’s been a great chance to look through what’s been happening through an intense and stressful year – and the amazing work our composers and performers have done.

Important premieres, revivals of loved repertoire, national and international tours, a new season for independents and more add up to a busy year for SDC.
