Brisbane 2011-15: Arts Qld & Creative Australia support, Creative Sparks Award, major sponsors Theme & Variations Piano Services and FireWorks Gallery. Initially based in Brisbane, DCM is an award-winning and innovative chamber music concert series. Reviews of live performances have included “lived up to high expectations” (Brisbane Weekender), “a great addition to the Brisbane Scene” (RealTime Arts), “one of the best and most exciting ‘jazz with strings’ recordings that I’ve heard” (The Jazz Mann), and "who knew classical music could be so fun, am I right?" (The Factory Diaries). Now based in Sydney, Brieley Cutting once again uses DCM to platform collaborative music projects, the catalyst being her Electro Lieder show created and produced with composer Mark Oliveiro, this receiving a nomination for Best in Music in the 2023 Sydney Fringe Festival. With support from Rue Arts, DCM aims to be a home for music making that is exciting, virtuosic and adventurous, and has a focus on non-mainstream.
