About
Dominic Flynn is an Australian composer.
Born in nipaluna/Hobart in 1997, Dominic grew up playing the drums in local bands before shifting focus to composition. He has studied in Australia with several composers and in the United Kingdom with Michael Finnissy.
Dominic’s music has been commissioned and performed both at home in Australia and overseas in Canada, Italy, Germany, and England. He has collaborated with ensembles such as Decibel New Music Ensemble, CMR Contemporary Music Ensemble, Labyrinth Ensemble, Ensemble Mania, The Hedberg Ensemble, The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), and the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra, and soloists such as Michael Finnissy, Jan Gerdes, Antony Gray, Jennifer Yu, Judith Dodsworth, Leigh Harrold, and Michael Kieran Harvey. Pieces of his have been selected for the official Australian submission to the ISCM World New Music Days festival as well as for the inaugural ANAM Set commissioning project, and have featured in the Ossa Music Prize winning concert and in the APRA Art Music Award nominated Two Minutes from Home project.
Dominic’s recent projects include receiving a grant to workshop a new piece in London with pianist Antony Gray, and performances at the Mona Foma Festival and Tempo Rubato’s Tempo Queer Festival. Upcoming projects include a collaboration with London-based quartertone accordionist Lore Amenabar Larrañaga, as well as performances in Canberra, Hobart, and Melbourne.
