Education


Katia Tiutiunnik's high school education was completed at Our Lady of Mercy College, Parramatta and North Sydney Girls High School.
She earned her Bachelor of Music degree from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the University of Sydney, where she won the John Antill Composition Scholarship, the Don Banks Memorial Scholarship, and the Alfred Hill Prize upon graduation. She gained her PhD from the Australian National University, where she also completed advanced studies in Arabic. She also earned the highest Italian postgraduate title available in composition, the Diploma di Studi Superiori di Perfezionamento, from the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Rome, where she studied with Franco Donatoni for two years.




Musical work


Tiutiunnik has guest lectured internationally and has received a number of awards, commissions, national and international travel grants and other sponsorship, from both the government and private sectors. She was an Honorary Research Associate at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music from 2010 to 2016 and was a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Music, Universiti Teknologi MARA, in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, from March 2012 until April 2016.
In August 2016 Tiutiunnik was appointed as Professor of Music at SIAS International University in Xinzheng, Henan Province, People's Republic of China.
Tiutiunnik played the viola with the Sydney Youth Orchestra from 1990 to 1993.
She has also performed and recorded a number of her own works, as well as the works of other composers
She was the first Australian composer to be appointed visiting scholar at Columbia University, New York City, where she gave a presentation on symbolic references to Islamic mysticism and Middle Eastern affairs, in her music.
She was also a visiting fellow at the Australian National University, artist-in-residence and guest composer at Canberra Girls' Grammar School and Canberra Grammar School and composer-in-residence at the celebrated electronic studio, Charles Morrow Productions, New York City. During her sojourn in New York City, Tiutiunnik was a resident and an alumna of International House of New York.
Tiutiunnik's compositions have been published in Australia, Italy and the United States and are held in several international libraries, including the Bodleian Library at Oxford University (which also holds a copy of her doctoral thesis, The Symbolic Dimension: An Exploration of the Compositional Process), Harvard College Library, the National Library of Australia and the Wiener Music Library at Columbia University. On 11 December 2009, a revised version of Tiutiunnik's doctoral dissertation was published as a book and released internationally. Tiutiunnik's published dissertation received an extensive, scholarly review by Australian musicologist, Dr. Sally Macarthur, in the prestigious, peer reviewed journal, Musicology Australia, in July 2011.
The symbolic dimensions of a number of Tiutiunnik's compositions have been associated with the motif of the journey through darkness to illumination. Also, several of Tiutiunnik's works have been inspired by Islamic mysticism and related traditions—the musical symbols therein often manifesting themselves in the form of compositional processes emanating from her interpretations of Near Eastern traditions of numerology. Other important influences on the symbolic dimensions of Tiutiunnik's compositions include the landscapes, flora and fauna of Australia; historical and current events pertaining to the Middle East, in addition to the religion and mythology of Ancient Mesopotamia.
