Cameron Lam looks at a range of exciting new work coming out of the Sunshine State.

Sydney-based composer Richard Charlton has taken out the top prize, with Natasha Lin and Naomi Dodd as runners up.

Brainchild of Australian classical guitarist Matt Withers, the Australian Music Composition Competition opens applications for Australian composers.

Curated by Cameron Lam, this month's playlist of Australian art music features new music from 2021 Art Music Fund recipients and the first of the ABC's Fresh Start Commissions.

Classical guitarist Timothy Kain – who turns 70 in January – sees himself as a performer first and a teacher second, but he excels at both.

The Australian guitarist tells us about how his projects have fared in lockdown, as well as the challenges and pleasures of giving online concerts from home.

James Madsen has taken out the top prize with his work for classical guitar and piano.

In 2020 the guitarist’s competition will boast a bigger purse, with winning works performed by Withers and pianist Sally Whitwell and recorded by ABC Classic.

Withers' Competition bears fruit in an engaging album of (mostly) new repertoire.

Keen to raise the profile and expand the repertoire of the classical guitar, Matt Withers formed the Australian Music Composition Competition, and has recorded the 2018 winning works on a new album.

In the December 2018 edition of Limelight Magazine we pay tribute to Richard Gill's extraordinary life and legacy. Plus, the standout CDs of 2018.
