Carl Vine first rose to prominence as a composer of music for
classical dance, with more than 20 scores to his credit.
He has since emerged as a major orchestral
composer with seven symphonies and eight concertos heading the catalogue,
and his piano music is performed frequently around the world.
He has an impressive catalogue of chamber music,
complemented by various work for film, television and
theatre.
Although primarily a composer of modern 'art' music,
he has undertaken such diverse tasks as arranging the
Australian National Anthem and writing music for the
Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games (Atlanta, 1996).
In his role as Artistic Director of Musica Viva Australia,
Carl is also Artistic Director of the
Huntington Estate Music Festival,
Australia's most prestigious chamber music festival.
