The Peggy Glanville-Hicks Address is an annual forum for ideas relating to the creation and performance of Australian music. This year's address will be at 6pm Monday 16 November in Iwaki Auditorium, Melbourne (Naarm) and delivered by Professor Benjamin Northey. Northey will argue that Australian art music does not primarily have a preservation problem, but a relevance, imagination and connection opportunity. He will explore how greater cultural confidence can be expressed through the elevation of Australian artists and repertoire, deeper connection with audiences and how a shared sense of responsibility for our musical future might help build a more distinctive, ambitious and inspiring musical culture.
The evening will also include performances by the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM).
