Australian music on ABC Classic FM in July 2013
Two highlights of broadcasts in July are all-Australian programs from Adelaide's Soundstream Collective (live to air) and from Musicians of the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM). The Soundstream concert includes two chamber music classics, Richard Meale's Incredible Floridas and the recent (but already classic) Sextet (Old Kings in Exile) from Brett Dean, along with music by Anthony Pateras and James Ledger. ANAM's concert also highlights the music of James Ledger, along with substantial works from Stuart Greenbaum and William Barton.
The ANAM concert is part of a month-long focus on young and emerging musicians, running in tandem with broadcasts from the Asia Pacific Chamber Music Competition. The competition itself includes performances of piano trios by Paul Stanhope and Nigel Westlake. Other concerts in the focus include music by Percy Grainger, Samuel Dickenson, Hugh Belling, Stephen Adams, Elena Kats-Chernin, and a large-scale piano concerto by Daniel Rojas, performed by Sydney Youth Orchestra and Konstantin Shamray.
New Music Up Late presents several programs of recordings from the Aurora Festival, featuring music by Oren Ambarchi, Daniel Blinkhorn, Kraig Grady, Georges Lentz, Super Critical Mass and more. And in other concerts across the month, there's piano music by Carl Vine, orchestral music from Matthew Hindson and music for oboe and piano by Larry Sitsky.
New Waves podcast completes a series of music from graphic scores featuring Perth's Decibel ensemble. And we continue to add to the Rewind collection with recent additions including Andrew Schultz's Symphony no. 3, performed by the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, and performances by the Australia Ensemble including the Australian premiere performance of Brett Dean Sextet.
