These awards are the only to specifically honour achievements and excellence in the Australian contemporary classical music scene.

Also on the program:

BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 6 (Pastoral)
Lawrence Renes, conductor
Stephen Kovacevich, piano WORLD ARTIST
The London Financial Times said of Stephen Kovacevich’s Mozart “…he produced the sort of playing that now places him among the world’s small number of reigning Classical masters.” To close the program, Beethoven’s ever-popular Pastoral Symphony presents us with a sublime early 19th century landscape.

Experience contemporary sound and hybrid performance by some of Sydney’s most acclaimed and innovative musicians, poets, vocalists, video artists and dancers.
Amanda Stewart is a poet and vocalist. Her performance explodes outside text to include utterances and non-verbal implications. ‘Amanda Stewart’s multiplied voice is all edges, plosives, throat, psssts.” (Realtime)
Jim Denley’s emphasis on spontaneity, site specific creation and collaboration have been central to his work. He sees no clear distinctions between his roles as instrumentalist, improviser and composer.
Impro-lab comprises Tess de Quincey dance, Sam James video, Amanda Stewart text and amplified voice, Jim Denley amplified sax and computer. Impro-lab is an ongoing series of laboratories, residencies and performances that specifically address interdisciplinary improvisation. Impro-lab is concerned with the language forged in the instantaneous meeting between sound, text, music, dance and visual media. It is an open-ended process of interdisciplinary exchange exploring an ecology of improvisation.
Impro-lab is presented in association with PICA where they area in residence from 12 – 30 July, supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council.
