Inaugural Archbishop’s Prize for New Composers
Description
This Competition recognises and continues the

a musical culture in Australia by providing a platform for new composers to

The piece will be a choral work of no more than 5 minutes in length, setting the poem Animal Nativity, by Les Murray, to music. Full details on the website below.
