Year 11 student Lilliana has been selected from a very competitive field to become a Mighty Tunesmith for 2024.
She was given a Home recording studio, a mentor from the Hume Conservatorium and a script.
From this and inspired by the words of the writer Lil was tasked to compose original music to support the narrative, create a sense of pace and setting and help tell the story of Toothmas (An Origin Story) by Zoe Ferguson.
Mighty Tunesmiths is a program that works alongside Mighty Playwrights to champion the creativity and expressive might of young artists.
Staff from the Hume Conservatorium along with composers from the community, mentor 6 young composers of high-school age to compose themes and musical elements for the plays written by the playwrights.
Drawing inspiration from just the scripts, having never seen the plays, these young composers shape and manipulate sounds using digital recording software to enhance the plays by establishing moods, supporting the directors to build tension and creating sweeping ambient soundscapes
to help bring these wonderful plays to life!
The Mighty Playwrights plays are having their world premiere at the Lieder Theatre on Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th of September.
