07/11/2020 Carl Vine : Represented Artist Profile : Australian Music Centre
Carl Vine first came to prominence in Australia as a composer of music for dance, with 25 dance scores to his
credit. His catalogue includes seven symphonies, nine concertos, music for film, television and theatre, electronic
music and numerous chamber works. His piano music is played frequently around the world. Although primarily
a composer of modern 'classical' music he has undertaken tasks as diverse as arranging the Australian National
Anthem and writing music for the Olympic Games (1996 Atlanta Olympics, 'Sydney 2000' presentation).
Born in Perth, he studied piano with Stephen Dornan and composition with John Exton at the University of
Western Australia. Moving to Sydney in 1975, he worked as a freelance pianist and composer with a wide range
of ensembles, theatre and dance companies over the following decades.
Amongst his most acclaimed scores are Mythologia (2000), Piano Sonata (1990), Poppy (1978) for the Sydney
Dance Company and Choral Symphony (No. 6, 1996) for the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. His first six
symphonies are available on the ABC Classics double-CD set Carl Vine: The Complete Symphonies performed
by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Much of his chamber music is available on three discs from Tall Poppies
Records (TP013, TP120 and TP190).
Since 2000 Carl has been the Artistic Director of Musica Viva Australia, the world's largest entrepreneur of
chamber music. Since 2006 he has also been the Artistic Director of the Huntington Estate Music Festival,
Australia's most prestigious annual chamber music event. His recent compositions include The Tree of Man for
the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Gravity Road for the Queensland Youth Orchestra, Piano Concerto No 2 for
the Sydney Symphony, and a Violin Concerto for the Australian Youth Orchestra.
In 2014 Carl was appointed an Officer of the Order Of Australia (AO) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List. For
