Hello again Mark,

I’ve had a quick look at the website and it works fine on my laptop. It’s a Lenovo (IBM) which uses Windows XP. However I’m fortunate in that mine has a wide screen which is 1680 by 1050 pixels so I wasn’t having to scroll with the previous website. I went through various parts of the pulldown menu and all appeared to work well.

From time to time I’ve mentioned the website on air, but sometimes I’m beaten by time. I have been recently trying to cut the music part of the programme back a little to leave plenty of time for some mention of the Society as well as the concert announcements, and I will be continuing to aim that way. The 2MBS Programming Committee is rather fussy and I have to tread a fine line here as they don’t like too much talk relative to the music content.

Regards,

Andrew

Beautiful Baroque!

On Sunday 5 November three well known Canberra performers will present an attractive concert of gems from the baroque repertoire for voice, flute and piano. The concert will be in the Wesley Music Centre, 20 National Circuit, Forrest, at 3pm.

It will offer an opportunity to hear rarely performed Vivaldi cantatas as well as glorious, popular operatic arias by Handel and stately, emotive music of JS Bach including a sonata for piano and flute and arias from the St Matthew and St John Passions.  There will be duets and trios to delight the ears.

The performers will be Louise Page (soprano), Phillipa Candy (piano) and Teresa Rabe (flute).  All three are highly respected graduates of the Canberra School of Music.    

Louise Page was the 1989 vocal grand finalist in the ABC Young Performer of the Year competition, she won the inaugural Mietta¡¯s City of Melbourne Song Recital Award in 1995 and over the years she has performed in operas, oratorios and concerts in Europe and Australia.  She studied with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Geoffrey Parsons and other renowned artists.  In Canberra she has appeared with orchestras, in operas, with choral societies and for Art Song Canberra.

Phillipa Candy is a graduate of the Canberra School of Music and has Masters degrees from Hobart and Philadelphia.  Since 1984 she has been a professional accompanist, private teacher, repetiteur, coach and conductor.  She was the founding pianist with the group Austral Skies which toured for Musica Viva, and has been guest musical director and conductor for Canberra City Opera.  She studied with Geoffrey Parsons and in 1992 was inducted in the Pi Kappa Lambda Society for musical excellence.

Flautist Teresa Rabe came to Canberra to study at the Canberra School of Music with Virginia Taylor and Vernon Hill.  She graduated with distinction in 1992.  Since then she has had a busy career as performer,  teacher and adjudicator of eisteddfods and festivals.  She has played with such eminent bodies as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Canberra Symphony Orchestra and The Haydn Bande, as well as solo recitals throughout the region.

Violin Masterworks

Jack Glatzer ¨Cinternational virtuoso

Jack Glatzer, world renowned violinist, will be performing violin masterworks in the Wesley Music Centre on Friday 10 November at 8pm.  The associate artist will be pianist Robert Schmidli.

Hi Mark,

Kevin Clancy was there and maybe took photos; Geoff Lloyd also but I’m not sure about the photos.

Kathy

As I was in Auckland on the OHTA Conference, I missed out being able to attend the recent Organ Music Society ramble. Did anyone take any digital photos of the organs visited for me to upload to the website?

Cheers,

Mark
