about

CELEBRATING TWENTY YEARS - triple CD set celebrating twenty years since the founding of the composer organisation from 1997 - 2017.

‘Celebrating Twenty Years’ is a collection of contemporary classical works by twenty-three Australian composers based in both Melbourne and Sydney, Australia’s two largest cities. Melbourne, the home of the Melbourne Composers’ League (MCL), is acknowledged as one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with more than 30 percent of its population born overseas and its 251 distinct ‘spoken’ languages being a number greater than the number of countries in the world. Demographic surveys state that a language other than English is spoken at home by three in ten of its residents. This represents a multicultural linguistic diversity that also serves as an analogy for the aesthetic diversity found in the music styles of its composers, who draw inspiration from an either modernist, postmodern, neoromantic or pluralist sensibility.

This MCL triple compact disc celebrates twenty years since the founding of the composer organisation – a collegial group of artists committed to championing the aspirations of the individual within the collective in an effort to reflect the eclecticism evident in contemporary-classical music composition in Australia today.
