Holly Harrison is a young Australian composer from Western Sydney. Holly’s music is driven by the nonsense literature of Lewis Carroll, embracing stylistic juxtapositions, the visceral energy of rock, and whimsical humour. She is the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra’s composer in residence across 2020-2022. Her music has been described as “exploding off the page”, full of “riotous energy, eclectic rhythmic complexity” and “inventive, witty and invested with thrilling dynamism and momentum”. Holly has worked with the Sydney, Melbourne, Tasmanian, Canberra, West Australian, and Adelaide Symphony Orchestras, as well as the Australian Youth Orchestra and Monash Academy Orchestra. Her music has been performed by a range of Australian artists including Ensemble Offspring, Omega Ensemble, Rubiks Collective, Adelaide Wind Orchestra, Riley Lee and Enigma Quartet, Kiazma Piano Duo, and soloists Matthew Kneale, Alicia Crossley, and Lloyd Van’t Hoff. Internationally, she has collaborated with Eighth Blackbird, Alarm Will Sound, Nu Deco Ensemble, Riot Ensemble, Orkest de Ereprijs, Het Gelders Orkest, Ensemble Garage, and Catchfire Collective.
