  • Artist Biographies
    ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES Richard Gill AO | Artistic Director & Conductor in March 2019 Australian conductor and educator, Richard Gill, one of Australia's best-known and best-loved musical figures, is a significant and vital key member of ARCO. His career has taken him from teaching music in Sydney's western suburbs to Music Director of the Victorian Opera, Artistic Director of the Sydney Symphony Education Program, and along the way an involvement with almost every major opera company and orchestra in Australia. He is one of this country's pre-eminent conductors and a passionate advocate of music education. He specialises in opera, music theatre and vocal and choral training and his work in developing young musicians and creating opportunities for them is recognised world-wide. His appearances on the ABC’s “Spicks and Specks” and “Q&A” have made him a household name within and beyond Australia’s musical world. What truly distinguishes Richard is his passion and enthusiasm for spreading not just the joy of music, but its myriad benefits. He is Australia’s greatest musical educator, and many say one of the best in the world. His life's work - alongside his other roles - has been advocating music in our education system, and furthering the development of those who have gone on to choose music as a vocation. He brings music to life, and his knowledge and deep enjoyment of his subject is as inspiring and enlightening to a class of primary school students as it is to the cast of a major opera. The majority of Australia’s young contemporary professional musicians count Richard as a powerful influence on their musical development.

  • Spirit of the Plains
    Spirit of the Plains Bradley Kunda, GUITAR Laura van Rijn, FLUTE Spirit of the Plains (Bradley Kunda, 2015) I. Pan II. The West Wind III. Fantasy Spirit of the Plains is inspired by the paintings of Sydney Long (1871-1955). Long remains a unique voice in Australian art, particularly for his rendering of the Australian landscape in the European Art Nouveau style; he extends the branches of gum trees into flowing lines with sinuous curves, and he decorates the bush with mythical figures – fauns, nymphs and satyrs. Brolgas and magpies are enchanted by the flute, played by Pan, the Greek god of nature, shepherds, flocks, and pastoral music (Pan, 1989), or by a similarly evocative feminine spirit (The Spirit of the Plains, 1897/1914; The West Wind, 1909). The iconographic Art Nouveau image of spirited dancing girls with flowing dresses is a feature of Long’s work Fantasy (c. 1914), where the figures are engulfed by Long’s dreamy and imaginative depiction of trees and moonlight. The musical language of Spirit of the Plains for flute and guitar draws particularly on the French music of Long’s day, especially that of Maurice Ravel, whose meandering lines and lush textures are a fitting allusion to the Art Nouveau style. In the spirit of Long’s appropriation, however, this characteristic style is re-imagined through an Australian lens; the overtone-rich and colourful sound of the Australian classical guitar evokes its own harmonic and textural sound world, which pairs beautifully with Pan’s own instrument – the flute – in an Australian re-imagining of the musical and visual world of the fin de siecle.

  • RICHARD GILL TRIBUTE, PT. I -- Annotated Chronology AOSA Is
    RICHARD GILL TRIBUTE, PT. I -- Annotated Chronology AOSA is comprised of members for whom the Schulwerk approach to music pedagogy is a significant feature of their teaching. Richard Gill is a unique and very talented Australian musician—conductor, composer, performer--and throughout all, a superb music educator who was profoundly influenced by the Schulwerk approach. He directly impacted US music educators in 1982 when he was the featured teacher at the AOSA Conference in Portland, and subsequently at teacher courses and workshops in various locations. Plans were in place for him to be featured at this Cincinnati conference, but due to serious ill health, he cannot be with us. However, we want him to know how much he is valued as a master music educator, and are declaring him an Honorary Member of AOSA. Please read the following summary of his professional development and activities. (The quotes, in italics, are taken from his 2012 memoir, Give Me Excess of It.) Nov. 4, 1941: Born in Clovelly, a beachside suburb of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), Australia. He was aware of and attracted to music from his earliest years, beginning with enthusiasm for singing. 1946: Began primary school at St. Anthony’s, Clovelly, a convent school run by the Sisters of St. Joseph. All students learned to sing the chants and hymns for the entire church year; Richard knows them still. 1950: Entered 3rd year of primary school at Marist Brothers’ School, followed by 5 years of secondary school. Singing continued to be his main interest; choir was the motivation for attending school.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] VOICED IDENTITY: A STUDY OF CENTRAL CHARACTERS IN SEVEN OPERAS FROM AUSTRALIA 1988-1998 ANNE POWER A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 1999 Faculty of Creative Arts University of Wollongong II ABSTRACT Composers of Australian operas, in the decade from 1988 to 1998, have responded to social and political events through the medium of central characters. In each of the seven operas in the study, a character becomes the signifier of reflections on events and conditions that affect Australian society. The works selected are Andrew Schultz's Black River, Gillian Whitehead's The Bride of Fortune, Moya Henderson's Lindy - The Trial Scene, Richard Mills' Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Alan John's The Eighth Wonder, Martin Wesley-Smith's Quito and Colin Bright's The Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior. These operas are studied in three groups to investigate issues that concern voices of women in the contemporary operatic genre, issues of cultural identity and issues of political protest.
