Dr Arabella Teniswood-Harvey’s long-lasting passion for music has flourished into an illustrious career as a professional pianist and now as the Head of Discipline at the Conservatorium of Music.
A childhood rich in music led to Dr Teniswood-Harvey learning piano from the age of five and later playing trumpet in the Tasmanian Festival Winds Symphony. Her family support was unwavering when she later went on to audition for the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School in Melbourne.
“This was a pivotal moment in my life,” she says referring to her time studying from Year 10 to Year 12 and then continuing her tertiary studies at the VCA.
“To have moved from the relative cultural isolation of Tasmania, where many of us suffer ‘big fish in small pond’ scenarios, to such a rich and stimulating musical environment was both frightening and exhilarating.”
“Attending the Victorian College of the Arts exposed me to a multicultural society and to rich and varied musical cultures. Once I was on this path it seemed having a life in music was inevitable.”
Dr Harvey’s work as a pianist saw her achieve a number of ‘firsts’ through live performances and recordings. Among them, were first albums of the complete violin and piano music of Lennox Berkeley and Kenneth Leighton, and first album devoted to the piano music of Elisabeth Lutyens.
After many years of specialist training, Professor Teniswood-Harvey returned to University to study art history.
Her PhD research on the artist James McNeil Whistler attracted international attention.
“To be invited to be part of an international committee on American Art initiatives at the Freer Gallery of Art (Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.) and also to present lecture-recitals on Whistler and Music at the Freer, at Colby College (Maine, USA) and at the University of Glasgow was great recognition of the international impact that research conducted in Tasmania can have.”
“The importance of my scholarly work is twofold. Firstly, as both a trained art historian and a trained musician, I am able to bring a unique breadth of knowledge to my studies.
“Secondly, the same skillsets enable me to bring attention to Australian music iconography in international arenas, contributing to a multiplicity of topics, viewpoints and geographic perspectives in global scholarship.”
As Head of Discipline, Dr Harvey has supported students and staff through the challenges presented by COVID-19, while leading the design and development of a new Bachelor of Music curriculum.
“Our work as educators is immensely important because our decisions impact the lives of others. We grappled with the challenge of how best to respond to the heightened impacts of COVID-19 on education and the music industry, within an already rapidly evolving world.”
“The redesign furthered the implementation of values I had first instigated through the founding of our Experimental Music Ensemble that recently showcased in the Mona Foma Summer Festival”
Dr Teniswood-Harvey believes that by bringing together students from diverse backgrounds, treating them equally and exposing them to creative opportunities, we can work to change culture.
“Through my teaching I hope to inspire in my students, curiosity, independence, critical thinking and confidence that stays with them throughout their lives. Every student is unique and will find their own way.”
“My task is to help them discover their interests and give them the tools to be able to pursue them.”
Alongside her teaching and role as Head of Discipline Dr Teniswood-Harvey remains active with her creative pursuits, recently collaborating (along with her husband Dr Michael Kieran Harvey) with the Brisbane-based experimental music ensemble Clocked Out. She is also involved in the highest levels of the international musicology scene through her position on the Council of Association Répertoire International d’Iconographie Musicale.
Dr Arabella Teniswood-Harvey is Coordinator of Classical Performance and Head of Discipline (Music) at the School of Creative Arts and Media. She is a pianist and art historian, interested in the interrelationships between music and visual culture. Recent work includes studying aspects of Australian music iconography from the late 19th century to the present day; and identity and music in social media and curatorial practice.
Arabella has released a number of CDs on the Australian label Move, which have been critically acclaimed in forums including Gramophone magazine. Her most recent solo album Carpe Diem: Piano Music from Italy was highly praised by reviewer Gwen Bennett: “Stylish, intellectual and artistic, this production is quintessentially Italian in its elegance, combining music, expertly written text and photography.
Biography
Born in Hobart, Arabella studied piano in Melbourne where, in 1999, she was one of the few elite young Australian musicians awarded full scholarship for the Australian National Academy of Music’s inaugural Advanced Performance Program. An experienced collaborative musician, she has maintained strong duo partnerships with violinist Edwin Paling (former leader of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra) and with Michael Kieran Harvey, with whom she has performed significant two-piano repertoire of the twentieth century, including that of Bartók, Stravinsky and Messiaen, as well as new music for two pianos and percussion.
Her appearances at national festivals such as the Coriole Music Festival in South Australia, the Melbourne International Festival and Mona Foma, are complemented by international performances including concerts in Glasgow and Oxford, and lecture-recitals at Colby College Museum of Art and the Freer Gallery of Art, in the USA; and at the University of Glasgow’s Hunterian Art Gallery.
Her recorded output includes the solo piano albums The Ring of Bone: The Piano Music of Elisabeth Lutyens (MD 3354) and Carpe Diem: Piano Music from Italy (MD 3410); the duo albums with Edwin Paling, Lennox Berkeley: Complete Music for Violin and Piano, and Solo Violin (MD 3361) and Kenneth Leighton: Music for Violin and Piano (MD 3358) ; Patañjali (MD 3399) in which she performs piano, keyboard and trumpet alongside the composer Michael Kieran Harvey and percussionist Eugene Ughetti; and PRTZL (MD 3447)in which she performs experimental music with Michael Kieran Harvey and Clocked Out (Vanessa Tomlinson and Erik Griswold).
.
Arabella holds degrees in music, art history and education, and her scholarly work is recognised internationally through invitations to present conference papers, chair sessions, participate in round tables and attend symposia. Her PhD thesis (2006) explored the impact of music on James McNeill Whistler’s art, and she maintains an interest in this field. Her research has been published in Music in Art: International Journal for Music Iconography, The British Art Journal, The Burlington Magazine, Psychology of Music and Context: Journal of Music Research. She has presented conference papers in the USA, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand; and lecture-recitals in the USA and UK, using solo performance to illuminate her discussion and analysis of visual art.
From 2009 until 2011 Arabella was a member of the International Scholarly Advisory Board for American Art Initiatives at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution (Washington D.C.). In 2020 she was appointed to the Council of Association Répertoire International d’Iconographie Musicale (RIdIM), Zurich.

- Description
- The project considers the portraiture of classical musicians in relation to jazz, pop, experimental and indigenous musicians; and issues of gender, sexuality, race, and cultural identity. The discipline-specific research question is: what can we learn about the diversity, identity and status of musicians in Australia by studying their visual representation? Given the visual bias of contemporary society the representation of music plays a powerful role in communicating ideas about music to the broader public. The larger question is: how can this study (which uses the methodologies and theories of art history and music iconography) contribute to current discussions about class?
