Biography
David Symons is Honorary Senior Research Fellow and part-time Senior Lecturer at the Conservatorium of Music, The University of Western Australia, Australia.
'[David] Symons offers fresh perspectives about the group of composers who, between 1930 and 1960, sought an Australian musical identity with reference to local landscape and First Nations culture as they understood it. ... The Jindyworobak movement in music has been one of Symons's regular concerns since the 1990s and his findings are brought together definitively in Australia's Jindyworobak Composers.'
