Jewel

Elizabeth Holowell

Robert Constable

Robert Constable's piano anchors Australian violin-and-piano repertoire from Sculthorpe, Banks and Sutherland to his own Jewel, while Medea gives violin and cello a chamber drama held back for decades.

Don Banks

Don Banks (1923–1980) was an Australian composer of concert, jazz and commercial music. Serial craft, electronics and a lifelong pull toward jazz shaped chamber works, concertos and scores central to mid-century Australian modernism.

Peter Sculthorpe

Peter Sculthorpe (1929–2014) was a Tasmanian-born composer whose orchestral and chamber music drew the Australian landscape, neighbouring Asian traditions and Indigenous materials into a clear, personal language. He wrote extensively for strings, piano and voice.

Margaret Sutherland

Margaret Sutherland (1897–1984) was an Australian composer whose work ranged across almost every form, with a particular gift for chamber music. She remains one of the most distinctive voices in twentieth-century Australian composition.

Michael Whiticker

Michael Whiticker was born in Gundagai, Australia. He has received major commissions from leading Australian ensembles and organisations, and has won numerous awards in Australia and Germany for his compositions.

Vincent Plush

Vincent Plush is an Australian composer, critic, teacher and musicologist. His chamber and ensemble works often draw on political history, place and song.

Martin Wesley-Smith

Martin Wesley-Smith wrote music audiences actually like: electronic pieces that stay human, choral parables that turn nursery rhymes into environmental inquests, and chamber scores laced with Lewis Carroll fantasy and hard political irony.
