Description
In a photograph that seems to capture the creative flux and flow of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, composer Peter Sculthorpe (left) watches Per Nørgård (right) as he gestures with his hand. Peter Sculthorpe is an original voice in Australian music, combining an eclectic and constantly evolving style, rooted in classic forms, with an intense interest in the indigenous music of his native land and the Pacific Rim. His determination to document in sound the socio-environmental character of Australia has made Sculthorpe the country’s best known composer and “the voice of the nation”. Born in Launceston Tasmania in 1929, Sculthorpe was educated at the University of Melbourne and Wadham College, Oxford. Per Nørgård is one of Denmark’s leading contemporary composer, and has explored many compositional techniques, including his own serial procedure called the infinity series.
