Australian Music on ABC Classic FM in December 2010


Australian Music on ABC Classic FM in December 2010

What a year it has been!

December highlights include a feast of Australian sound artists in New Music Up Late's feature program of the ROLLING STOCK festival, plus 'Off The Record' with Robin Fox. And there are world premieres from Matthew Hindson, Gerard Brophy and Gordon Kerry. This December is also a great chance to rehear some inspiring Australian music from Jon Rose and collaborators, Ensemble Offspring, the 'What is music' festival, and this year's Australian entries to the Paris Rostrum, as well as Gordon Kerry's highly original completion and framing of Mozart's unfinished Requiem Mass, broadcast on Your Requests.

And you can listen to and read about Australian music in our online archival recording collection classic/amp. Also check out an array of special web features, or subscribe to our weekly AMU podcast for new Australian music recordings and artist interviews direct to your computer. Happy holiday season.
