ABC Classic and ABC Jazz have announced the 15 recipients of the inaugural Composer Commissioning Fund to support the creation of new music from emerging and diverse Australian artists.
Chosen from 150 applications, all compositions will be recorded live for broadcast and commercial release via ABC Music, with each successful applicant being granted up to $6,000 to assist in the writing and recording of their work.
Out of the 15 successful composers and performers selected in the fund, more than half identify as female, with two composers identifying as First Nations, three as LBGTQIA+, and five as linguistically and culturally diverse.
