Sandra Millikenaus modern

Sandra Milliken (* 1961) is an Australian composer, arranger, conductor, adjudicator, music educator and teacher.

Life

Sandra Milliken was born into a musical family in the north Queensland city of Cairns, learnt piano from an early age and also played guitar and flute. Singing was always a natural part of her life and in her late teens she began formal lessons with local teachers Sheila Knudson and Lauren Hannay and then with Margaret Nickson from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. During her time at secondary school she gained several piano performance qualifications from both Trinity College London and the Australian Music Examinations Board.

Sandra Milliken tertiary studies began at the University of New England where she undertook majors in Musicology and Ethno-musicology, as well as completing her teaching qualifications. After moving from Cairns to the state capital, Brisbane, she read for a Masters degree in choral conducting at the University of Queensland under Dr Ed Bolkovac. After completing her Masters, she worked part-time at the University of Queensland, lecturing in the Master’s Degree Program as well as the Summer Music Program. During that time she conducted the university’s premiere choir Concentus.

In 2001 Sandra Milliken turned her hand to composing, with a particular interest in choral music. Her first composition – Fanfare of Praise – was dedicated to Patty Hennings and the Peninsula Women’s Chorus of San Francisco.

She achieved international recognition as an Australian composer of choral music. Since 2005 she had her own choral music series – Choral Vivace – which is published by Edition Peters London. There is also an earlier collection of mainly a cappella works in English, Finnish and Latin published by the Finnish company Sulasol.

Whilst she still maintain a particular interest in Finnish music, her composing is strongly influenced by all things Australian, including an interest in indigenous languages, our unique flora and fauna, and texts by contemporary Australian writers. Her works are now performed by choirs in Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, south-east Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Many have also included selections from my repertoire in their CD recordings.
