28 Aug 2012 Jeanell Carrigan's celebration of diversity (plus an invitation to a CD launch) by Anni Heino

With more than a dozen CDs to her name, Jeanell Carrigan's dedication to recording works of our contemporary composers is impressive.

8 Feb 2017 Composing against the tide by Jeanell Carrigan

A surprisingly large number of women born in Australia between 1860 and 1915 became composers of piano music. For most of them this was not a task easily accomplished - they did not always receive encouragement, let alone earn a living from their creative work. Many of these composers have been largely forgotten, most of their works perhaps irretrievably lost. Jeanell Carrigan has been researching and discovering this repertoire, playing and recording the music of these women - and now writing their story in a new book entitled Composing Against the Tide.
