Richard Gill: “there is a wealth of musical talent in Australia that must be nurtured and this program is a unique and valuable opportunity for young composers to really challenge themselves. With music education being given less and less national attention, programs like this are a becoming increasingly important.”
The Sinfonietta Project gives promising high school music students the opportunity to have their compositions performed by musicians from the Sydney Symphony.
