I’ve always been fascinated by stars, and I can’t believe how well our trip to this famous stargazing spot has turned out 🌟⭐️💫
Of course the first photo isn’t mine, I nicked it off the internet, but it’s totally what we saw tonight. The rest are our photos from our crappy iPhones. Actually I lie again, they’re all @sylchen_jia’s photos 💖
Australia has a particularly unique viewpoint of our galaxy, and this has inspired my new piece for @sydneysymphonyorchestra premiering in September.
Highly recommend a trip to Carlo Sand Blow at Rainbow Beach for this incredible, mystic, awesome experience. #ComposerAdventures (at Carlo Sand Blow)

Save the date! Would love to see you at the #WorldPremiere of my new piece for @sydneysymphonyorchestra, “Ancient Lights/Mystic Sky” in the glorious new acoustic of the @sydneyoperahouse concert hall September 15, 16 and 17. Like Debussy’s La Mer, also performed in this concert, and the world’s fascination with the recent #nasa Webb telescope, I am fascinated with the “endless beauty” of the night sky, and Australia’s viewpoint of the galaxy is particularly poignant and sublime. Can’t wait to share this with you all, the workshop and recording recently was such an honour and a thrill ✨🙏💖 (at Sydney Opera House)

Hey choral directors! 🙏💖
My ‘Australian Song Cycle’ is uploaded to my website and available to purchase (via #SingScore). Wanted to make this available ahead of my trip to to #Tasmania tomorrow for @festivalofvoicestasmania! Extremely honoured that several of my works will be performed in various concerts, and I’ll be speaking with composer friends in “The Composers’ Room”.
Can’t wait to see you all there

My office today 😍 working on my new piece for @sydneysymphonyorchestra conducted by Umberto Clerici. Sounded absolutely fabulous, stupidly I forgot to take a photo while the orchestra was actually there 😅
Can’t wait to share this piece with you all in the Sydney Opera House in September! Still can’t decide whether to call it “Ancient Lights” or “Mystic Sky” 🤷♂️✨
Thanks for everything SSO! (at ABC Sydney)

When I’m not writing operas and orchestra pieces and stuff I’m working on music for animated shows, something I wanted to do ever since I was a kiddo.
Had the huge honour of writing music with legends @danob91 & @joffbush for Season Two of @thestrangechorestv which airs this Friday on @abctv!
Love this show so much, thanks so much @daley_pearson & @the.luke.the for having me on board 💖🙏 (at Brisbane, QLD Australia)
