She is a wild thing after all – a hunter, a killer, a ferocious lover. Our ancestors lived under that same sky, but they surely dreamed different dreams from us. Who knows what they dreamed?

  • South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 LGA Submission
    South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 LGA Submission April 2019 LGA of SA ECM XXXXX < File Name > Page 0 of 12 Introduction As the closest government to communities, councils deliver hundreds of facilities and services that: drive economic development; protect the environment; bring communities together; support public health; and improve the local amenity enjoyed by all South Australians and visitors alike. Arts and culture is an important part of the work which many councils do, and the role of local government in arts and culture has many benefits for the South Australian community, supporting health and wellbeing, economic, social and cultural development. In this context, the Local Government Association of South Australia (LGA) welcomes the decision of the State Government to develop an Arts Plan, and the opportunity to make a submission. Local government is an experienced partner in government, and the LGA and our member councils look forward to working with the State Government and Arts South Australia to capture that involvement in the South Australian Arts Plan 2019-2024 (‘the Plan’). About the LGA The LGA is the voice of local government in South Australia, representing all 68 individual councils across the state. Our mission is to provide leadership, support, representation and advocacy on behalf of South Australian councils, for the benefit of the community. The value of LGA membership has been independently verified by UHY Haines Norton as being worth around $139 million to the local government sector in 2019. This submission has been informed by consultation with our member councils. Development of an Arts Plan for South Australia The LGA is keen to be involved in the development of the Plan and this submission is provided for consideration of the consultants engaged to prepare the Plan.

This article discusses how the preparations that have been carried out by the city of Ambon towards the world music city and the various problems associated within it. A number of relevant stakeholders in Ambon were interviewed and opened various evaluations and problem solving. Various programs that have been carried out are in accordance with the standards requested by UNESCO, but the priority scale in the executed steps requires more careful attention. Some things that still need more attention are related to information, regulation, relations between stakeholders, organizing music festivals (live performances) and bureaucratic systems. This article concludes that efforts related to the world music city still need a serious effort in positioning Ambon in the midst of global competition.

  • 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.
