Merlyn Myer Music Commission
Melbourne Recital Centre announces applications are now open for Australian female-composer competition. The Merlyn Myer Music Commission enables an Australian female composer to create a new musical work, providing creative freedom and fostering artistic development while providing an opportunity for the composer’s new work to be performed, heard, and recorded in a performance setting at Melbourne Recital Centre. The commission component of this project is $12,000 cash and the Centre covers all costs associated with the presentation and documentation of the performance. Applications close 30 November.
