JODIE O’REGAN
COMPOSER | LIBRETTIST
From my home and studio in an old stone church on the edge of the South Australian desert, I create words and music for singers.
My whole life has been filled with singing. I write to celebrate and care-take the glorious, beautiful work of singers.
I create music for all sorts of singers. Children and adults. Community-singers, students and professionals. Soloists, ensembles and choirs. A cappella and accompanied.
I believe in uncompromising beauty, lush phrasing, and meticulous care for text setting. I also believe in being cheeky, adventurous and bold.
I know songs come alive when they’re performed, and the job of songs is to magic up stories and story-worlds for singers and audiences to delight in together.
My music has been performed from farm sheds to opera houses, within Australia and around the world.
