Chamber Made dominated the 2026 Art Music Awards with two major wins, celebrating their experimental spirit and 35 years of shaping Australian music. Ocean-themed works like Paul Stanhope’s Mahāsāgar and Alex Turley’s the ocean’s dream of itself also shone. Established artists such as Anne Cawrse, Nat Bartsch, and Monica Lim were honored, alongside rising star Noemi Liba Friedman. The night’s standout was Performance of the Year for nyilamum song cycles — a powerful First Nations collaboration led by Dr. Lou Bennett AM with the Australian String Quartet. Nick Russoniello won Soloist for Air Mass Suite, while The Cloud Maker took Jazz/Improvised Music honors. Professor Liza Lim AM received the Richard Gill Award, and Luminary Awards recognized Musica Viva Australia and Daryl Buckley for visionary leadership — a night that celebrated Australia’s rich, diverse, and innovative musical landscape.
