Decibel has been awarded the 2025 Luminary: National Organisation award at the Art Music Awards, recognising our programming of concerts, releases, touring and publications.

 

The annual Art Music Awards are presented by APRA AMCOS in conjunction with the Australian Music Centre to recognise achievement in the composition, performance, education, and presentation of Australian music.

 

Artistic Director Cat Hope shared:

 

“This recognition from our new music community means a lot to us, and it was great to see so many composers we’d commissioned over the years in the room and receiving awards. It was an honour be part of this years line up recognising champions of experimentation such as Jon Rose, Hollis Taylor and Stephen Adams, and i would like to take this moment to acknowledge the ensemble members who have shared the 16-year Decibel journey with me ‑ Lindsay Vickery, Tristen Parr, Stuart James, Aaron Wyatt and Louise Devenish.”

 

The 2025 Art Music Awards were held at City Recital Hall, Gadigal land on Thursday 21 August.
