Kate Moore has won the prestigious Dutch composition prize Matthijs Vermeulen Award for her work The Dam. The work was initially premiered at the Canberra International Music Festival in 2015, and the original version for soprano and ensemble (including didjeridu) was later arranged by the composer for the UK-based Icebreaker ensemble. The arrangement was premiered by the Icebreaker in February. The prize, worth E20,000 ($29,500) will be presented to Moore in an event in the Hague in December.
