Composer Celeste Oram has been announced as only Kiwi out of ten 2021 Arts Music Fund recipients. 

Awarded by APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre’s Art Music Fund, the fund offers $5000 to each recipient towards the commissioning of a proposed work. The works span genre and format and will take place in concert and recital halls, and be made into albums and video productions.

Oram’s plan is for a concert-length experimental music-theatre piece for Ensemble Adapter, an Icelandic/German quartet.
