Tom is a Hobart-based freelance composer and pianist, with a bachelors of music from the university of Tasmania and a masters of composition from the university of Melbourne. Tom has composed pieces for some of Australia’s most notable musical ensembles, including the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Youth Orchestra, Ensemble Offspring, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Tasmania Symphony Orchestra.
I approached Tom to be interviewed because of a commission he received in 2018 to compose a piece for the Hush Foundation. Tom and I chat about his commission, the Hush foundation, and the parallels between music therapy and music in medicine.
