2022 APRA/AMC Art Music Awards

The winners of the 2022 Art Music Awards were announced on Wednesday 31 August at Meat Market in North Melbourne, recognising some of Australia's finest established and emerging artists, excelling in their fields. This year's awards marked a return to an in-person event after two years of online announcements.

"What a thrill to celebrate the creativity of the art music community after a challenging two years! Congratulations to this year's honourees for such beautiful and evocative works. And thanks to all in the Australian art music community for your sheer tenacity and ingenuity - creating and performing in such difficult and unpredictable circumstances - it is appreciated enormously by your audiences locally and globally," said Dean Ormston, APRA AMCOS CEO and Catherine Haridy, Australian Music Centre CEO.

Presented annually by APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre (AMC), the Art Music Awards acknowledge the achievements of composers, performers, educators and leaders in the genres of contemporary classical music, jazz, improvisation, sound art and experimental music.

The winners and finalists of the 2022 Art Music Awards illustrate the power of collaboration and community in music-making. The Awards recognise the contributions of a diverse group of artists, but also their efforts to serve and represent culturally diverse audiences and communities around Australia.
