Welcome to Prepared Sounds

At Prepared Sounds our goal is to create and promote works that are unique, exciting, accessible, educational and above all else, fun and rewarding for performers and audiences alike.

We have a keen interest in promoting the works of contemporary Australian composers. Our music is principally aimed at school age people, but we offer pieces at tertiary and professional levels too.

You’ll love performing our works at your next concert or event!
