Jennifer Newsome
Jennifer Newsome is a flautist, educator, and academic researcher.
Her interest in new and experimental music began during her teens, and during her time at university studying flute with Zdeněk Bruderhans she was very fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely together with composers and fellow instrumentalists in the commissioning and performance of new music. During this period, she began teaching at the Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM) at the University of Adelaide, where she became involved in advocating for and supporting the rights and interests of First Peoples in the Australian tertiary music education system, work which she continues today through her research at the Australian National University (ANU).

Through Tropical Stars
David Joseph’s Through Tropical Stars gathers five chamber works inspired by the natural world. From the garden-like imagery of Concertino to the quiet melancholy of The Afternoon, the music brings nature’s textures, patterns and sounds into focus.
