Event Details

Tilde New Music Festival is dedicated to the presentation and promotion of rarely heard contemporary Australasian art music, giving listeners the opportunity not only to experience new and innovative works in a relaxed festival environment, but also to meet and interact with the practitioners and other interested parties.

Covering notated and improvised music, the sonic arts, and the intersections with other art forms including theatre, dance, performative and visual art, and literature, Tilde New Music Festival 2016 offers a low-cost and high-quality, grassroots festival with food, drink, installations, performances, visual art, discussion, and much more.

For its third year, the festival will run over three days and three sites: the Channel on Friday evening, Testing Grounds on Saturday and the Australian Institute of Music on Sunday. This is on the back of its inaugural five-day academy, which aims to teach young people through hands-on engagement about contemporary music making, and a themed public discussion about contemporary music.

Performers: Melanie Walters, Josten Myburgh, Jameson Feakes, Halfsound, Sam McAuliffe, Brigid Burke, Otiose ft Stephen Roache, David Seedsman, Brae Grimes, Alice Bennett, many others!

Composers (changes possible): Houston Dunleavy, Gary Butler, Warren Burt, Katia Tiutiunnik, Ross Edwards, Kirsty Bellharz, Michael Smetanin, Chris Dench, Gerard Brophy, Andrew Ford, Melanie Walters, Vincent Plush, Anthony Lyons, Jaslyn Robinson, Carmen Chan\
