Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

The ANAM Set commissioning project of 2021 was an epoch-defining event, resulting in the creation of 8 hours of new music by 67 Australian composers. Over six concerts at the Castlemaine State Festival, we invite you to experience a cross-section of these intimate solos and duos up-close and personal. From compositional giants such as Ross Edwards through to the fresh eco-activist voice of Kate Tempany, see what artistic alchemy results when living composers collaborate with virtuoso performers.
