Thomas Reiner is an award-winning composer who has won prizes in the International Witold Lutoslawski Composers’ Competition, the ALEA III International Composition Competition at Boston University, and the International Boswil Composers’ Competition. Locally, he has received the Dorian Le Gallienne Award for Composition and the Albert H. Maggs Composition Award. In 2007 he was awarded the Dean’s Teaching Award for excellence in teaching, and in 2009 received the Dean’s Commendation of Excellence in Teaching. In 2012 he received the Vice-Chancellor’s Commendation for his contribution to the University’s commitment to social justice and human rights.
His prolific compositional output consists of solo pieces, chamber works, orchestral compositions, works for music theatre, vocal works, concept pieces, electro-acoustic and electronic works. His music has been performed, broadcast and recorded in many countries, and by some of the leading exponents of contemporary music. Most of his works are published with the Australian Music Centre. Recordings of his music are released on several CDs and have received critical acclaim.
In 1996 he was awarded the Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Melbourne for his research into the semiotic nature of musical time. His book Semiotics of Musical Time was published in 2000 by Peter Lang Publishing in New York. He is the founder and artistic director of the Melbourne-based contemporary music ensemble re-sound, which over the years has made a substantial contribution to the presentation and promotion of Australian work.
