In his ninth year as the Artistic Director of the Canberra International Music Festival (CIMF) Roland Peelman is both animated but also considered about his ongoing tenure and what he enjoys most about his role. Formerly the successful Artistic Director of the Song Company and a highly-respected musician and conductor, Peelman has distinct views on festival curation, the nature of artistic collaboration and the importance of taking risks. Â Â
He enjoys working in Canberra and says: ‘The festival has offered me a lot of joy, with the opportunity to really look at this city, and the way it has visibly changed over the past decade.’
