The 440 Seasons was composed to celebrate the 110th birthday of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2025. Over those 110 years 440 seasons have passed. This tiny fanfare is a compressed time capsule representing all of them, united by the timeless theme of S-C-M (Si-C-Mi = Eb-C-E).

It was first performed by the SCM Symphony Orchestra conducted by Roger Benedict on 7 November 2025.
