Brendan Colbert performed with various progressive-rock bands in the 1970s as keyboard player and songwriter, and in the ’80s undertook private composition studies; initially with Brenton Broadstock & later with Riccardo Formosa.

After a series of early commissions (most notably several from ELISION) he was selected twice for the National Orchestral Composers’ School (in 1991 with Carl Vine and Richard Mills & in 1995 with Gerard Brophy and Sir William Southgate) which led to the premieres of Machinations and Jericho’s Strange by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

The following years saw the resolution and assimilation of such disparate influences, the revision or withdrawal of several early works, and the emergence of an uncompromising individual voice. His output currently comprises about a hundred works, and includes commissions from local and international soloists, ensembles, and orchestras, with concert and festival performances throughout Australia, Europe and the USA.
