Music Report      

Congratulations to alumni student Catriona Williams on being one of six artists selected for this year’s Topology Launchpad program. Launchpad is a scholarship program offering one-on-one creative mentorship and professional development to up to 6 emerging composers and/or songwriters each year. Successful applicants receive 12 months of mentorship, the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with Topology, plus the opportunity to have their music featured in a live performance. The successful applicants were announced earlier this week on Topology’s social media pages:

Topology are thrilled to announce the new cohort of emerging artists who have been selected for the Launchpad Mentorship program commencing this year! 

CATRIONA WILLIAMS // A first year composition student at the Queensland Conservatorium. Catriona is an award-winning young composer who has worked with members of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra through the 2024 Compose Program. We are incredibly proud of Catriona and look forward to attending the premier of her work later this year.

Bring yourselves and a singing voice (no judgement, just fun singing together – no one needs to sing on their own, but there are sometimes solos for people who put their hand up)!
