There's one week left to vote for your favourite Artist of the Year – and the race is neck and neck.

It’s time to vote for the Australian and international artists you’d most like to see honoured in this year’s Limelight Awards.

This month’s performance highlights from ABC Classic, independent radio and streaming.

One of Australia’s all-time greats lands a phenomenal premiere at his hometown show – which UK violinist Thomas Gould then stole.

When it comes to playing Philip Glass, says the violinist, "Your fingers need to be a volcano, but your brain needs to be a freezer.”

Five world premiere commissions by composers including Ross Edwards, Caroline Shaw and Brenda Gifford, make up a diverse season, with living composers contributing 70% of the music. 

Excellent introduction to chamber music by Gavin Higgins that packs a punch.

More revelations, both laughing and lurid, from Vaughan Williams.
