MOMENTUM Commissions

The MOMENTUM Commissions foster connections between creators of Australian art music and supporters, providing a creative springboard for composers and sounds artists at all stages of their career.The work of creating art is essential, and the MOMENTUM Commissions provide the financial stimulation artists need to flourish in their creative work.

Since its inception in 2020, MOMENTUM has commissioned new works by: Rae Howell, Zinia Chan, Anne Cawrse, Nicole Murphy, Elizabeth Younan, Connor D'Netto, Maria Grenfell, Reuben Lewis, Helen Svoboda, Aaron Wyatt and Christine Pan.
