Songwriting is a fantastic way to process and express emotion as well as to feel connected to self and others. Many of the songs enjoyed by Acabellas singing groups have been written by myself or in a collaborative songwriting project.

As well as personal songwriting I have been commissioned for various projects. Some of these are small and personal projects to commemorate a special time or event in someone’s life. Other commissions have been for larger projects or organisations. The following is a sample of work from the latter category.

Madrigal of Love and Bush Burial: as part of Perpetual Echoes, Geelong Art Gallery

Real Gold: to celebrate 100 years of Suffrage and performed at Parliament House, Victoria

Fire and Flame, Ancient Wisdom, Simply Hear Me: for massed performance at Reclaim the Night Geelong

May Peace Prevail on Earth: International Byakko Foundation

Soundtrack for Making Waves: A theatre and music collaboration with Brown Fairthorne Productions at the Geelong Wintergarden

The Owl and the Ute : Bluebird Foundation What em Choo

Songwriting Grants and Awards Achieved

Working with individuals on songwriting is a particular interest. Contact me to discuss a private consultation.
