Art Music Awards
The Art Music Awards are presented each year by the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) and the Australian Music Centre to recognise achievement in the composition, performance, education and presentation of Australian music.
The Art Music Awards consist of ten national awards and various State Awards across categories covering composition, performance, and outstanding contributions by individuals and organisations in Australian music, music education and regional music. Formerly staged as the Classical Music Awards, the Art Music Awards have been restructured to include three new categories: Jazz Work of the Year, Award for Excellence in Experimental Music and, as a new category for 2012, Award for Excellence in Jazz.
The 2012 Art Music Awards will be held on Tuesday 3rd April at the Opera House, Sydney.
