The Australian Voices
It is with high artistic energy that The Australian Voices (TAV) commission and perform the work of Australian composers. 2020 commissions include Nico Muhly, Katie Noonan, Lisa Young and Melody Eötvös.
In 2014 they made international headlines with a video of Rob Davidson’s Not Now, Not Ever! (2014), a musicalisation of Julia Gillard’s ‘misogyny’ speech.

Their self-titled album for Warner Classics (2012) was observed by Gramophone magazine to "boast a crisp, resonant delivery of the sonic goods under Hamilton's confident direction." In 2013 The Australian Voices released an songbook with Edition Peters, featuring some of the group’s best-known repertoire. Their most recent album is Elsewhere (2019).
Recently the group has brought their distinctly Australian sound to audiences in Guatemala, Mexico, China, the UK, Germany, New Caledonia, USA, Palestine, Woodford Folk Festival and Hobart Festival of Voices.
In response to the COVID-19 shutdowns, the ensemble has commissioned new works from 22 composers for future performance.
