Initiated by The Song Company and the Australian Music Centre, modart09 provides opportunities for emerging composers to develop new work for voices. From a wide field of applicants, seven Australians alongside a composer from New Zealand and one from Hong Kong have been selected to participate in the 2009 Modart Workshops. In the process, nine young composers have the opportunity to spend two intensive working periods with the singers and Roland Peelman, Artistic Director of The Song Company.
Read the young composers diaries as they undertake this journey.
Come and enjoy the nine sensational works created in two public performances with The Song Company at the Melbourne Recital Centre (recorded for broadcast on ABC Classic FM) 18 July and at the Italian Forum in Leichhardt, Sydney 19 July.
