Composer Development
Symphony Australia views the creation and performance of Australian musical works as a priority.
Several new works are commissioned each year for major Australia symphony orchestras. Composer Attachments are available from time to time with different orchestras.
And new talent is encouraged through the Composer Development program, for which any aspiring composer may apply. The program allows talented composers to work with a professional orchestra, and culminates in a public concert featuring brand new, fully-orchestrated works by each participant.
The 2007/2008 program commences on 30 November 2007 and culminates in a concert on 3 July 2008 at the Iwaki Auditorium. Five talented young composers have been accepted into the program.
