Brendan Colbert
Brendan Colbert was born in Ballarat, Victoria, in 1956. After moving to Melbourne in the 1970s, he worked with various progressive-rock bands as keyboard player and songwriter, and during the 1980s studied composition with Brenton Broadstock and Riccardo Formosa.
The following years saw the resolution and assimilation of disparate influences and the eventual emergence of an uncompromising individual voice. He has written a substantial number of works - including commissions from significant local and international artists, ensembles, and orchestras - with concert and festival performances throughout Australia, Europe and the USA.
