In the 2026 Peggy Glanville-Hicks Address, Professor Benjamin Northey will argue that Australian art music does not primarily have a preservation problem, but a relevance, imagination and connection opportunity. He will explore how greater cultural confidence can be expressed through the elevation of Australian artists and repertoire, deeper connection with audiences and how a shared sense of responsibility for our musical future might help build a more distinctive, ambitious and inspiring musical culture.
The event will also feature the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) performing Jessie Leov's when two waters meet and Brenda Gifford's Bardju (footprints).
Join the Australian Music Centre (AMC) for an evening that ignites conversation, looks to the future and celebrates Australian music.
The Australian Music Centre (AMC) is a not-for-profit organisation. All ticket sales and donations go towards our important work supporting and amplifying Australian art music, composers and creators.
We'd also like to extend out thanks to ANAM and our Broadcast Partner ABC Classic for their support.
