Improving the health and life expectancy of Australian people with intellectual disability.

Imagine waking up every day knowing that your life expectancy is on average more than 25 years less than the rest of the population. And that you are twice as likely to die from a potentially avoidable cause than someone in the general population!

That’s the reality for Australian’s living with an intellectual disability.

The Collegium Musicum Choir’s second program for the year includes the liturgical works of Alexander Grechaninov and Anton Bruckner.

The UNSW Wind Symphony was founded in 1991 to perform works specially composed for wind ensembles with or without percussion. The Wind Symphony provides repertoire, largely dates from after 1900, with arrangements of works from all eras and styles, including jazz, popular and art-music forms. The Wind Symphony is home to many of the woodwind and brass players on campus, and comprises about 50 players at any one time.

A UNSW Scientia Education Academy public lecture

Students’ learning is reminiscent of a building’s life cycle. It entails erecting and dismantling scaffolds, building the “products”, engaging with relevant stakeholders, and monitoring their performance. 

UNSW’s partnership with Matraville High School is ushering in a new era of teacher education. In a first-of -its-kind school-based university education program, UNSW Sydney is working with students, teachers, parents, and other key stakeholders to build a collaborative, inclusive and sustainable educational community for all. 

Under the guidance of piano legend Sonya Lifschitz, students of Performance Lab 8 have collaborated with each other to produce a Scratch Orchestra - a large group of people with varying sets of skills, abilities and interests working together for music-making. The night will consist of music from the 20th century to excite, challenge and inspire.

UNSW Built Environment with the Australian Institute of Architects is delighted to host the AS Hook Address by 2018 AIA Gold Medallist, Emeritus Professor Alec Tzannes AM.

Please join us for a public talk with visiting Academic Distinguished Professor Barbara Risman from the Department of Sociology and Women & Gender Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago, as she discusses her latest book Where the Millennials Will Take Us: A New Generation Wrestles with the Gender Structure.

"Environmental activism: in your neighbourhood, in your world" 

Nancy Hillier was a tireless campaigner on behalf of people and places in the Botany Bay area of Sydney. This annual lecture series acknowledges Nancy’s legacy by providing a forum to discuss social and environmental issues that resonate with and extend her work. In 2018 the event will feature two presenters.

The Orchestra’s repertoire is broadly from the Classical (1750-1810) and Romantic (1810-1910) eras. More recent works, especially works by contemporary Australian composers, are well represented in the Orchestra's programs, as is film music from the past four decades. Concertos for various solo instruments figure prominently.

The soloists in these concertos are mostly students from the University’s music department.
