Cameron Lam’s September playlist creates a listening experience that keeps speeding up, using local Classical, Jazz and Sound Art.

Foundry616 shuts its doors at the end of June – the second Sydney venue to announce closure this week.

This month, Cameron Lam’s Australian Art Music playlist collects rich pieces with perspectives to listen to, whether commenting on history, the world or current events.

Honouring established musicians such as Liza Lim, Paul Dean and Mindy Meng Wang, this year’s Awards also celebrate an exciting number of first-time nominees.

Twelve composers and songwriters have each been awarded a $10,000 cash prize in a show of support for emerging Australian artists.

Three new categories increases this year's number of finalists to 56, all in the running for a cash prize of $10,000.

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

These players in Pharos understood the key to playing great jazz: an invulnerable attachment to the spirit of the music, and the ceaseless tenacity to explore the full range of human dynamics through intuitive collaboration.
