Event Details
The Composing Women program was established to mark the centenary of the Conservatorium and was developed in order to redress stark gender imbalances in Australian contemporary classical composition. Since 2016, it has gone from strength to strength with highlights including the ‘Breaking Glass’ season of four chamber operas with Sydney Chamber Opera, seasons with the Sydney Dance Company, and multiple collaborations with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs. The success and impact of the program has been celebrated through high profile prizes such as the 2020 Classical NEXT Innovation Award (Rotterdam) and 2022 APRA AMCOS National Luminary Award.
Tonight’s concert celebrates the artistry, achievements and activism of the program with works by Brenda Gifford, Fiona Hill, Jane Sheldon, Fiona Hill and Bree van Reyk.
