A Major Lift, the Festival’s commissioning circle, brings together music lovers who support the
creation of new Australian music to be premiered at the Festival.

The Festival is proud to contribute to the ongoing development of new music in this country having
commissioned around two hundred new works.

We are committed to commissioning diverse voices including Indigenous composers and women
composers, both of whom are under-represented in contemporary art music. We also nurture
the talents of the next generation of Australian artists, providing exciting opportunities for young
composers to create new works.
