Meet the 2024 2MBS Artist in Residence – Outback Brass
Emerging Artist Program
Outback Brass is a quintet that was formed in 2018 by Phill O’Neill, who, after having spent years living in regional Australia where he felt top-level musical performances were less common there than in coastal centres and major cities, had the desire to develop an ensemble with a primary focus on sharing and performing top level Australian music far and wide, including remote areas of Australia. Upon Outback Brass being announced as 2024 2MBS Classical Artist in Residence, Phill commented that “we look forward to working with 2MBS to promote Australian music, composers and performers, to build a strong love of classical chamber music in all areas of Australia.
