                                  Damian Barbeler

                                  Resume

                                  Damian Barbeler’s award-winning compositions have been performed and broadcast around the world, sung and played by leading Australian and international soloists and ensembles. He is widely recognised for his highly idiosyncratic compositional style and especially his lush, emotional sound worlds inspired by textures and patterns from nature. He is an enthusiastic collaborator, often working with creative types from diverse fields like architecture, software design, media arts, dance and more. A distinctive part of Damian’s expertise has been his ability to inspire amateur and especially young musicians to excel in professional settings. His wide-ranging career has taken him to a diverse range of places from famous concert halls to biscuit factories, boardrooms and far-flung parts of regional Australia. Acting out the precept that an artist should also teach, Damian is just as happy in the exquisite, rarefied atmosphere of art music, as he is in the invigorating world of beginners, students and music-loving amateurs.

                                  Damian has twice received the ‘Recommended Work’ award at the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers and was a finalist in the renowned Toru Takemitsu Prize 2008. He recently received a PhD from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
