Anne Cawrse, Claire Edwardes and the ASO Announced as a Finalist in the 2024 APRA AMOCS Art Music Awards

We are delighted that the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra has been named a finalist in the 2024 APRA AMOCS Art Music Awards for their performance of Dare to Declare: Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra by Adelaide's own Anne Cawrse. This exceptional work, commissioned by the ASO with the generous support of the Miriam Hyde Circle, premiered in the ASO's 2023 Season and featured the outstanding Australian percussionist Claire Edwardes.

'One had a sneaking feeling while enjoying this wistful work that here might be the definitive marimba concerto, and this its definitive performance. Cawrse and Edwardes have truly given us something special.'

– Graham Strahle, InReview (2023)

The 2024 Art Music Awards will be held at The Malthouse, Naarm, on Wednesday 14 August.
