New music deserves a place that is not on the margins, but at the epicentre of how we define, consume, perform and teach classical music. Freedman Fellowship “Genius” award winner Ashley William Smith, inspires a community of young artists that champion this idea uncompromisingly, to discover new worlds and ideas in music.

In this special concert, forming part of UWA Research Week we will be focussing on fluxus composition and concept music – we will examine the definition of what ‘music’ actually is. The concert will explore the edge between noise and music, and activity and performance.
