This year’s Art Music Award finalists were announced this week by APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre. I’m happy to share that two works created under the mentorship of Mark Applebaum (Jouska) and Marc Hannaford (Amen) were nominated:

The Amen album launch in Melbourne with Marc Hannaford and Satoshi Takeishi is nominated for the category, Performance of the Year: Jazz/Improvised Music
The Music Box Project’s theatrical performance Shallow Listening at BIFEM in 2019 is nominated for the category, Award for Excellence in Experimental Music. My chamber-opera-psychodrama Jouska was part of this performance

The awards will be streamed on on the APRA AMCOS Youtube channel on 8 September at 7pm (AEST).
