Elder Music Lab

Elder Music Lab is the Elder Conservatorium of Music’s new music ensemble, providing a spearhead for the Conservatorium’s activities in the area of contemporary music, with a particular focus on generating and performing new works, and innovative performance practices in general. Since its formation in 2017 the ensemble, directed by Luke Dollman, has given many performances at the University of Adelaide and has been a regular guest at COMA’s series at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. Particular highlights have been composer focusses on Peter Maxwell Davies and Pierre Boulez, 18 world premieres and collaborations with various musicians from other genres. Most recently, the ensemble developed a new work which was performed live online together with our colleagues from the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore.
