Raffaele Marcellino

The Mountain Orchestra was made up of community members who constructed instruments from found objects and other materials and then performed newly composed works in a concert on Mt Wellington in Hobart.

In 2003 Marcellino was Composer-in-Residence with eminent Australian vocal ensemble The Song Company directed by Roland Peelman, who had previously commissioned several works.

Creative collaborations have included prominent Australian artists including Greg White (composer), Robert Jarman (actor and theatre-maker), Jenny Duck-Chong (singer and music presenter), Anna Messariti (producer and theatre maker), The Song Company, Sirens Ensemble, Tom O'Kelly (percussionist), Michael Bates (filmmaker) and Jordie Albiston (poet).

Antipodes (1987), an orchestral work inspired by David Malouf's collection of short stories, was performed by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dobbs Franks.

In 2000 Raffaele partnered with Greg White and the Seymour Group to create Sonic Bach (2000) for ABC Classic FM's The Listening Room produced by Andrew McLennan.
