The Cybec 21st Century Australian Composers' Program is organised and
run by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
For more information
The program is advertised annually, and several young composers are selected to take part in
the program. Each composer is commissioned to compose a 10-minute piece, which is publicly performed
by the Orchestra during the Metropolis Concert Series. Each composer is mentored by an established
Australian composer during the composition period.
