SUPPORT
The Peggy Glanville-Hicks House
"It is apparent that leisure and silence are absolute prerequisites for composers if they are to engage fully the many forms of awareness involved in creative activity. This leisure and silence have become the greatest luxuries in the modern world, and composers less than any other group in art or science are able to command it."
- Peggy Glanville-Hicks, 1958
The Peggy Glanville-Hicks Composers’ House is an amazing institution. It has hosted some of Australia’s greatest compositional voices since it opened in 1993, supporting an enormous range of creativity.
We need your support.
Beyond the annual operating funding that we seek from government each year, we need to establish a financial base to secure our future, and that of our resident composers.
There are a number of areas in which your financial support can assist us to maintain, grow and plan for the future of The Peggy Glanville-Hicks Composers’ House. We welcome all donations and would be happy to discuss options with you.
