UQ has commissioned composer Andrew Ford to create a special Centenary piece

A prominent Australian composer is fine-tuning a new piece he has created especially for UQ’s 100th birthday.

Andrew Ford will unveil The Scattering of Light at the final UQ Senate Dinner for the year on December 10 after months collaborating with staff and students.

The piece was commissioned in 2009 and is scored for piano quartet. Mr Ford, a Visiting Professor in the School of Music, has won several major prizes including the Sydney Spring Festival Award and the Yorkshire Arts Composers Award.

The premiere will also mark the inaugural performance of the School of Music’s ensemble-in-residence. The group comprises professional performers and academics who mentor UQ music students. Ensemble members include cellist Patrick Murphy, violist Patricia Pollett and pianist Liam Viney.
