2024 Adjudicator
Mr Timothy Frahn
Timothy Frahn commenced study of the trumpet in 1996. A graduate of the Elder Conservatorium, studying trumpet performance with James Dempsey and Robin Finlay; and conducting with Carl Crossin OAM, Keith Crellin OAM and Dr Luke Dollman, Tim has established himself as a highly sought-after performer and conductor. He has performed with the Australian Youth Orchestra, Australian Brass Quintet, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Black Dyke Brass Band (England), and has studied at the Australian National Academy of Music.
In 2012, he became the founding President of Adelaide Wind Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to premiering and commissioning new wind band repertoire focussing on Australian composers, and providing performance opportunities for the finest wind players in South Australia.
He now divides his professional time between teaching, performing regularly with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Concert Orchestra, and Adelaide Wind Orchestra, tutoring with Adelaide Youth Orchestras, and conducting various ensembles. He was appointed Musical Director of A-Grade brass Kensington and Norwood Brass Band in 2019, and continues his love for making quality music with friends and colleagues.
In his spare time, he can be found walking the puppy with headphones listening to jazz since “he never gets to play jazz”, gardening with his numerous chickens, cycling of the push and motor variety, exploring orchestral recordings, and enjoys a good game of chess.
