Resonate Magazine | Australian Music Centre

Some special highlights in November on ABC Classic FM include broadcast premieres of our Orpheus Remix winners' award-commissioned radio pieces on New Music Up Late, the presentation of a new ABC-produced studio work with The Song Company in Sunday Feature, and a special 11am Remembrance Day broadcast of the Sydney Philharmonia in a concert with a new work from Andrew Schultz.

Meanwhile, the AMU podcast presents a series of recent studio works commissioned or produced by ABC Classic FM, and the collection of ABC archival recordings of Australian music continues to grow at classic/amp.

Remembrance Day

World premiere of Andrew Schultz's Beach Burial (along with Haydn's Mass in Time of War and Vaughan Williams's cantata Dona nobis pacem)

Sunday Feature

Sunday 15 November 2.00pm - Mrs Macquarie's Cello and The Song Company.
A new music theatre piece for radio by composer Raffaele Marcellino, commissioned by The Song Company, co-produced for radio by ABC Classic FM and Radio National's Airplay, and featuring The Song Company and cellist Emma-Jane Murphy. The Song Company has an impressive record of commissioning and performing new Australian works, and the radio version of Mrs Macquarie's Cello is a wonderful showcase of the depth and diversity of The Song Company's vocal talents from folk tunes to counterpoint to character parts, textural atmospheres and melting solos. In this feature we celebrate The Song Company's 25th anniversary with the Classic FM broadcast premiere of Mrs Macquarie's Cello and a conversation with the ensemble's long-running director Roland Peelman, reflecting on the work of the Company and their contribution to the development of Australian vocal music.
