 More recently, the 55th IVCF (Perth, 2004) took part in the Perth International Arts Festival to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Antonín Dvořák by performing his Stabat Mater with the Prague Chamber Orchestra under Australian conductor Graham Abbott.IVCFs have a long if intermittent tradition of performance of works by Australian composers.At least sixteen performances since 1962 have included works commissioned by the festival, including "Blue Gum Forest", composed by Matthew Orlovich for the 60th IVCF in 2009, "Missa Pacifica" by Anne Boyd, commissioned for the Sydney IVCF in 2008, and David Cassat's "Flesh to Stone" for semichorus and divisi main chorus, commissioned by the 56th IVCF (Melbourne) in 2005.
