Sydney composer, researcher, and educator Dr Natalie Nicolas completed her Master of Music (Composition)degree and PhD under scholarship at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Nicolas’ music is emotionally driven, and she often strives to evoke calm and/or catharsis through her writing, in line with research in music and emotions. A prime example of this is her work “We Won’t Let You Down” for the ACO Collective, funded by the Hush foundation in 2018, which was ARIA nominated in 2019 for Best Independent Classical Album.
 


Nicolas has written for the Goldner SQ, the Sydney, Tasmania, Canberra and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, Claire Edwardes, the The Song Company, and many other wonderful Australian artists.

In 2020, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra commissioned Nicolas, and she won the Harold and Gwenneth Harris Endowment for Medical Humanities Harris Award 2019/20 for her doctoral work with music and healthcare. 

In February 2020, she was featured on ABC Classic FM's 'Best of Australian Classical Music’ playlist, and the International Women’s Day ‘Women of Note’ vol. 2 album.

In February 2021, the Southern Cross Soloists and Slava Grigoryan commissioned and premiered a new work of Nicolas’, at QPAC to their largest audience in 26 years. Some of her other projects for 2020/21 included collaborations with the Australian Ballet with Orchestra Victoria, and award-winning guitarist Matt Withers thanks to a generous commission by the ABC. Nicolas was also selected in 2021 as a composer at the prestigious Connecticut Summerfest, and participated in their festival in June collaborating with ZOFO. 

Nicolas was a winner of the MSO Cybec 21st Century Australian Composers’ Program 2021, and “Union” was premiered at Hamer Hall in early 2022. She was commissioned by the Charles Perkins Centre and wrote/produced a highly acclaimed immersive string orchestra work with Ensemble Apex for their 10th anniversary and to inaugurate her new research node at the CPC “Music and Health”.
