This is a notable achievement for Alexander, as the competition is one of the most prestigious of its kind in the world. His winning composition is entitled Dunrossil Elms, taking its name from the heritage-listed elm trees that line Dunrossil Drive, the road leading up to Government House in Canberra. We celebrate this wonderful news with Alexander, and look forward to the performance of his work at next year’s George Enescu Festival.
