Commission New Music

Individual Commissions

$3,000 and above

CIMF has a long and proud history of commissioning new music. All works commissioned to be premiered at the festival are fully funded by donors. Donations for commissions ensure that our Artistic Director has the financial support to continue commissioning bold new Australian music, keeping our art form vibrant.

CIMF has an impressive record in commissioning diverse voices, including Indigenous, female and emerging composers.

All individual commissions are discussed in detail with our Artistic Director and are created in close collaboration between the commissioner, the artist, and the Artistic Director.
