Welcome to Finding Our Voice

Finding Our Voice invites Australian artists to create an ambitious new musical composition. The result is eight bold new artworks that illustrate a remarkable range of music-making. Each new creation is presented live in an iconic Australian venue, and the performances are filmed for presentation on the Finding Our Voice website.

For those who want to go deeper, the website hosts information about the making of each new work, stories about the composers and creators, and tools and techniques for composing music. Finding Our Voice is a celebration of Australian music that speaks to contemporary Australia.

“Australia is rich in brilliant music makers. Finding Our Voice creates a national portrait in sound of our most exciting composers, working in wildly diverse ways. We’re passionate about introducing them, their stories, and their music to you. Listening to them helps us hear, celebrate and connect with one another, and our country.”

– Genevieve Lacey, artistic director

Finding Our Voice is supported by UKARIA, Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund, an Australian Government initiative, and the following individuals and foundations: Ulrike Klein AO, Berg Family Foundation, The Yulgilbar Foundation, The Aranday Foundation, Playking Foundation and Julie Kantor AO.
