Established in 1999, The Ian Potter Music Commissions are Australia’s premier music composition awards. Presented biennially, the Commissions are conducted by The Ian Potter Cultural Trust and judged by some of Australia’s most respected music artists, conductors and composers. The Music Commissions were established in 1999, to help put the spotlight on composition of new Australian music, an area that had been overlooked for some time yet should play a central role in our cultural and artistic landscape.
