Sally Greenaway
Sally Greenaway (born 4 October 1984) is a composer and pianist based in Canberra, Australia.
Education
Greenaway studied piano through her school years, attaining an LRSM qualification from the ABRSM and a graduate of the Australian National University where she studied jazz piano and arranging/composition.
In 2009, Greenaway travelled to London to study film composition at the Royal College of Music where she had mentors including Joseph Horovitz and Kenneth Hesketh.
Music
Greenaway has a diverse body of work, mostly in the contemporary classical and jazz genres. Her work includes orchestral and large ensemble works as well as dramatic, instrumental, vocal and chamber works.[1] [2].
In 2008, Falling of Seasons (for jazz orchestra) was the inaugural winner of the APRA/JMO National Big Band Composition Competition[3].
Her arrangement of Waltzing Matilda (for Finnish vocal ensemble Rajaton)[4] was winner of the 2009 Canberra International Music Festival Young Composer Competition[5].
After returning to Australia from her studies in London, Greenaway has worked as a freelance composer and is a fully represented composer with the Australian Music Centre.[6].
In 2014, Greenaway released her first classical album, Aubade and Nocturne, which documented her early classical works. It was a featured album for Australian Music Month[7] and reviewed in Gramophone Magazine[8].
Greenaway was awarded the Merlyn Myer Music Commission Award[9][10] in 2015, for which she composed The 7 Great Inventions of the Modern Industrial Age. This dramatic work was the winner of an APRA Art Music Award (State award - ACT, instrumental work of the year)[11][12], which was also subsequently recorded and released by Syzygy Ensemble on Move Records[13].
Musica Viva commissioned Greenaway in 2017 to write Da Vinci's Apprentice, a dramatic work for actor/voice and renaissance ensemble.[14]
