Matej Perunicic

Matej Perunicic is an Australian-based composer whose work fuses neoclassical writing with a wide range of experimental electronic textures. From a young age, he studied classical piano and composition alongside ballet, later pursuing a decade-long career as a professional dancer.

Rhythm, storytelling and theatrical presence sit at the core of his musical expression. Matej’s experiences dancing on stage continue to shape his approach to composition, with scores that move between dramatic intensity, experimentation and deeply emotive writing.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
