AMD 2015
Australian Music Day (AMD) is an annual event at MLC School Sydney, which gives young composers from around NSW the opportunity to compose to a model piece and have their music work-shopped by professionals. Every year AMD focuses on the study of Australian contemporary classical composition as the model for HSC composition.
In 2015 the HSC Music 1 (Contemporary Music) students had an exciting program that was curated by me. My piece, mestizaje, Casey Bennetto's musical Keating and the orchestrations of Tilman Robinson and singer-songwriter Packwood were all presented on the day.
An excerpt about mestizaje from the work booklet, written by myself and edited by Tristan Coelho, is downloadable here.
