Contemporary Classical Composer
Welcome to my website with details about my music, experience, concerts and how to contact me.
I am a mature-aged emerging composer who began composition studies at the age of 45.
Two years later, I won first prize in the Joseph Dorfman International Composition Competition for my chamber work Beyond the Gate. Since then, I’ve had works performed by leading Australian and International ensembles including Ensemble Offspring in Noosa, Nota Bene Ensemble at ISAM in Munich, Viney-Grinberg Piano Duo in Brisbane and Blush Opera as part of the Parramatta Lanes Festival in Sydney. In 2023 my piano works, Constellations, were selected and performed by multiple contestants at the Sydney International Piano Competition.
In September 2025, Tamara-Anna Cislowska and Andrey Gugnin will be performing and recording my two-piano works at the Sydney Opera House, and in February 2026, Konstantin Shamray will be performing and recording my solo piano works at the Melbourne Recital Centre.
As a non-binary queer composer, I identify as a storyteller who likes to find beauty and kindness, and celebrate joy even in the harsh climate of the modern world. My music explores movement, gesture and narratives, and my passion is in creating unique sound worlds.
Currently, I’m studying at the University of Queensland, with Dr Robert Davidson, and am researching a contemporary take on the traditional form of Variations.
