Creative Arts Fellows Creative Arts Fellowships, supported by the Friends of the Library and the Ray Mathew and Eva Kollsman Trust, offer Australian artists and writers an opportunity to develop new work that is inspired or informed by our collections. 2021 Frederick Septimus Kelly: the Lost Olympian Image David will examine the manuscripts of Frederick Septimus Kelly (1881-1916), a prolific and prodigiously talented musician and composer. David seeks to restore the parts of Kelly’s body of work that have been forgotten since his death by typesetting and editing them, and preparing them for publication in five new volumes. At the conclusion of the project, songs, solo piano works and the first Violin Sonata will be performed in Canberra for the first time since Kelly’s death. A lecture-recital will also be given, comparing Kelly's work with that of Australian contemporaries and that of Ralph Vaughan Williams up to the age that Kelly achieved when he was killed on the Somme.
