Welcome to Finding Our Voice

Finding Our Voice commissioned eight Australian artists to create an ambitious new musical composition.

Each new creation was presented live in an iconic Australian venue, and the performances have been filmed for presentation on this website.

The website also hosts films about the making of each new work — stories about the composers and creators — as well as educational resources for composing music, inspired by each commission.

“Australia is rich in brilliant music makers. Finding Our Voice creates a national portrait in sound of our most exciting composers, working in wildly diverse ways. We’re passionate about introducing them, their stories, and their music to you. Listening to them helps us hear, celebrate and connect with one another, and our country.”

– Genevieve Lacey, artistic director

Finding Our Voice is supported by UKARIA, Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund, an Australian Government initiative, and the following individuals and foundations: Ulrike Klein AO, Berg Family Foundation, The Yulgilbar Foundation, The Aranday Foundation, Playking Foundation and Julie Kantor AO.
