This exciting program is an integral part of the TSO’s Australian Music Program. TSO will provide a two-year course aimed at identifying and preparing composers on the cusp of their professional careers as orchestral composers suitable for possible commission opportunities from professional orchestras upon graduation.
The ACS Director for 2022-2023 is Matthew Hindson with Maria Grenfell and Holly Harrison (pictured above) as 2022 Tutors.
Successful applicants will work with Matthew Hindson over a two-year period, spending a week in Tasmania each year to attend workshops with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
