Competition 2026 Set Pieces

The Australasian Double Reed Society proudly introduces four new works for solo oboe and bassoon by Melbourne composer Naomi Brown (click for biography), commissioned as the set works for the 2026 National Double Reed Competition

These are owned by the ADRS. The stipulation is that even though they are available to download, they are not to be publicly performed until the Competition, and they are subject to normal copyright legislation.

So feel free to download them, learn them, and enter the competitions, but no public performances until after the conference.
