  • She Speaks a Celebration of the Past, Present and Future of Women Composers in Australia and Beyond
    ADELAIDE She SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Speaks SEASON 2021 June Presented in partnership with Saturday 19 the Elder Conservatorium of Music Elder Hall at the University of Adelaide Le Parc 2 She Speaks A celebration of the past, present and future of women composers in Australia and beyond. LUNCHTIME CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT 10 Domestic Voices 1pm, Elder Hall SYMPOSIUM 15 Silent Women 4pm, Madley Studio EVENING ORCHESTRAL CONCERT 16 She Speaks 7pm, Elder Hall LATE EVENING CONCERT 19 When We Speak 9pm, Elder Hall Presented in partnership with the Elder Conservatorium of Music at the University of Adelaide 3 WELCOME You might say that She Speaks is part of the journey towards the fulfilment of a long-felt goal. A few years ago, I stumbled on ABC Classic’s inaugural long-weekend dedicated to music by women composers. As I listened to a huge variety of music by composers I barely knew, I was surprised, delighted and captivated by the extraordinary range of musical styles and expression across the centuries. I also ultimately felt a sense of shame and disappointment: Here I was, a university music graduate who had spent most of his professional life in the world of music, and I had scant knowledge of these composers or their work. Every musical organisation has a role to play in giving music by women an important place in our concert life, and here at the ASO we are resolved to make a difference to the status quo. So, this year, each of our Symphony Series concerts includes music by women. We have also created the Miriam Hyde Giving Circle, which, with your generosity, will make it possible for us to commission and perform more work by women.

  • INSIDE the MUSICIAN: JOHN CLARE at 75 by John Clare*
    INSIDE THE MUSICIAN: JOHN CLARE AT 75 by John Clare* __________________________________________________ INSIDE THE MUSICIAN is a series of articles on the Music Trust of Australia website by music people of all kinds, revealing something about their musical worlds and how they experience them. This article appeared on June 5, 2016. To read this on that website, go to this link http://musictrust.com.au/loudmouth/inside-the-musician-john-clare-75/ o come in from a wide or oblique angle, I need to apologise briefly that my writing is not what it was. There is no excuse, but a reason of sorts. Over the T past few years I have lost a son and a sister, the wonderful old Chinese lady upstairs who died and was replaced by a crazy and nasty woman who fire bombed my flat while I was visiting my daughter in Brisbane. And more, but we’ll leave that. Perhaps this stress and distress is behind my two strokes and a triple A operation (aortic aneurism in the aorta) which comprehensively relieved me of my memory for a while. Concentration is difficult and death seems often to be hovering. Yet strangely I am very fit and can race up very steep hills on my bike or grind up on the seat. It is when I am lying down and for some time afterward that it surrounds me. We’ll leave it at that. More important than that is how music sounds and what it means in what may well be the end days. Mine anyway. Like vapour trails soaring straight up at space from the horizon, or so it seems, but finding the curvature of the earth almost directly above.

  • The Australian Symphony of the 1950S: a Preliminary Survey
    The Australian Symphony of the 1950s: A Preliminary survey Introduction The period of the 1950s was arguably Australia’s ‘Symphonic decade’. In 1951 alone, 36 Australian symphonies were entries in the Commonwealth Jubilee Symphony Competition. This music is largely unknown today. Except for six of the Alfred Hill symphonies, arguably the least representative of Australian composition during the 1950s and a short Sinfonietta- like piece by Peggy Glanville-Hicks, the Sinfonia da Pacifica, no Australian symphony of the period is in any current recording catalogue, or published in score. No major study or thesis to date has explored the Australian symphony output of the 1950s. Is the neglect of this large repertory justified? Writing in 1972, James Murdoch made the following assessment of some of the major Australian composers of the 1950s. Generally speaking, the works of the older composers have been underestimated. Hughes, Hanson, Le Gallienne and Sutherland, were composing works at least equal to those of the minor English composers who established sizeable reputations in their own country.i This positive evaluation highlights the present state of neglect towards Australian music of the period. Whereas recent recordings and scores of many second-ranking British and American composers from the period 1930-1960 exist, almost none of the larger works of Australians Robert Hughes, Raymond Hanson, Dorian Le Gallienne and their contemporaries are heard today. This essay has three aims: firstly, to show how extensive symphonic composition was in Australia during the 1950s, secondly to highlight the achievement of the main figures in this movement and thirdly, to advocate the restoration and revival of this repertory.

It is an annual forum for ideas relating to the creation and performance of Australian music. In the spirit of the great Australian composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks, an outstanding advocate of Australian music delivers the address each year, challenging the status quo and raising issues of importance in new music.
