Testimonials Musicians

“Congratulations on last week. It was a fantastic project, and the composers that I spoke to thought that it was great. It is always great being able to realise the music of composers, especially in an orchestral setting!

…your hard work already massively benefits the contemporary music scene… “

“I thought that last night’s concert was the best so far… all the pieces were beautifully written.”

“I have worked very closely with many contemporary, living, young and old composers. It is always an energetic, interesting and worthwhile endeavor to cultivate and bring to life as much of this music as possible. Many thanks and congratulations to you for your role in organising, managing and conducting the whole event; a monumental challenge to say the least. I’m very happy to know of the existence of such an organisation in Sydney.”
