Andrew Ford has won the 2012 Albert H Maggs Award for Composition. The winning work, Rauha, was commissioned by ANAM and first performed there in May 2010.
The annual award comes in the form of a commission ($7,000) and a performance subsidy. Ford will write an extended solo flute piece called Once upon a time there were two brothers for Sally Walker. Over the years, Ford has written solo works for piccolo (Les débris d'un rêve), alto flute (Spinning; Female nude) and bass flute (Becalmed), but never before for a C flute.
A list of all Albert H. Maggs Composition Award winners is available on the AMC website. For more information, see also Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library (University of Melbourne) website.
