Boulez’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of the traditional concert experience and his fierce advocacy for the avant-garde marked him as a pivotal figure in the 20th-century music scene. He was never content with the status quo, always seeking to explore new territory, and in doing so, he left an indelible mark on music history.
This series includes a whole evening of concerts dedicated to Boulez’s music. His compositions are notoriously difficult—demanding on both the performer and the listener—but they are also incredibly rewarding. There’s a kind of beauty in the challenge they present, a sense of accomplishment that comes from grappling with the complex structures and ideas that underpin his music. For the ANAM musicians, approaching the huge mountains of works such as the Notations, Sonatine for flute and piano and Piano Sonata No. 2 is not only a technical feat but a rite of passage into the world of contemporary classical music.

The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) is dedicated to training the most exceptional young classical musicians from Australia and New Zealand. It is the only professional performance training institute of its kind in Australia, and one of few in the world.
ANAM musicians fly between the stage and the studio; performing in over 180 events each year and receiving more than 60 hours of one-on-one training and hundreds of hours of coaching from an esteemed Faculty and impressive list of national and international guest artists. From taking meditation classes, singing Bach chorales, laying down a concerto, or building a buzz around their forthcoming gig, to learning how to work a scale, work a fugue, work a room, or work towards securing a vibrant future for classical music. They find themselves sitting cross-legged on the floor with a class of local third graders one day, to performing with the world’s finest artists on stages all across the country the next.
With an outstanding track record of success, ANAM alumni work in orchestras and chamber ensembles around the world, performing as soloists, contributing to educating the next generation of musicians, and winning major national and international awards.
ANAM aims to inspire these future music leaders and encourages audiences to share the experience.
