FERGUSON, Grace

Grace is a Naarm/Melbourne-based instrumentalist, composer, and educator working across classical and contemporary traditions. Her practice examines layered perceptions of time and the relationship between intention, improvisation, and what remains beyond control.

In 2020, she released her debut solo album Voler (MC Records) and has since collaborated extensively with acclaimed artists across the forms of music, theatre, dance, and film. Recognition and support for her practice include the 2024 Sydney Theatre Award for Best Original Score for a Main Stage Production (On the Beach, Sydney Theatre Company), 2024 finalist APRA Professional Development Awards (Classical/Experimental), residencies at La Cité internationale des arts (FRA) supported by Creative Australia, Bundanon (AUS) and 2026 resident artist at Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS).

Grace is represented as an Associate Artist by the Australian Music Centre.

Grace acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where she works and lives, the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and pays her respects to First Nations Elders past, present and emerging. She acknowledges their continuing connection to community, the land and artistic traditions they have practiced for generations.
