Works with significant improvisatory aspects should instead be submitted for Performance of the Year: Jazz / Improvised Music.
A work is defined as a single complete musical composition, or expression. This includes music with movements or sub-works (i.e. song cycles), installations, and real-time compositions (improvised music).

This performance, the last of a run of six in regional Victoria and in other venues around Melbourne, demonstrate the ensemble's dedication to new Australian work and their determination to disseminate it as widely as possible. It also shows that the players are game to take on new work of substantial dimensions, and sometimes technical difficulty, that contributes to the storied traditions of art music, and, most importantly, that the talent, diligence and hard work of the players makes for a performance which utterly expresses the composer's intention.
