The end of 2019 marked the conclusion of a wonderful 4-year collaboration with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, first as an opportunity through the Sydney Conservatorium of Music’s inaugural ‘Composing Women’ program, then as a participant of the TSO Australian Composers’ School.

In this time I composed four works for Symphony Orchestra titled Flight, The Space Between Stars, Melting Glaciers and Lamentation.

I also composed my first ever concertino Glass Ocean which was written for Cor Anglais and Symphony Orchestra, performed by Dinah Woods. Click here to explore the process.
