Emerging Composers

Emerging Composers

Founded in 2025, The Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ Emerging Composer Awards has been created to give two emerging composers each year the opportunity to write a piece to be performed by one of Sydney Philharmonia’s ensembles. These composers will be paid a commission fee for their work, will be mentored by SPC’s very experienced Music Staff, will be able to workshop their ideas with Sydney Philharmonia singers and most importantly, will have their works performed in one of the most iconic performance venues in the world, the Sydney Opera House.

In 2025, SPC’s Emerging Composers are Kayla Erin Hinton and Phillip Cullen.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, upon whose Country we rehearse, sing and work, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.  
Our voices bring to life the songs of many cultures and countries, from across the ages, in a spirit of sharing, learning and understanding.
