07.01.2022 I'm thrilled to announce a collaboration with flautist Sally Walker in a recital for Melbourne Digital Concert Hall, an extraordinary initiative in these tricky... times that brings LIVE music right to your lounge room. On August 14th at 7pm, for only $24, you can hear us in recital, live from UNSW's Clancy Auditorium, performing a recital of miniatures, all of them notable for their wistfulness and whimsy, selected carefully by us to be an accompaniment for our changing, churning world. Please support artists in this challenging time. And even more importantly, please support art! Fauré Fantaisie Op. 79 Fauré Sicilienne Op. 78 from Pelléas et Mélisande Satie Gymnopédie no 3 from Trois Gymnopédies Gaubert Madrigal Reger Romanze Beach Romance Büsser Petite Suite Op. 12 for Flute and Piano Grainger Melody from County Derry ** Sally Walker is Lecturer in Classical Woodwind at the Australian National University, regular Guest Principal with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Principal Flautist with the Omega Ensemble and Artistic Director of the Twilight Musical Dialogues Chamber Music Series.

She has a long standing collaborative relationship with composer Elena Kats-Chernin and in 2015, commissioned Kats-Chernin to write her a flute concerto. With assistance from the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, Night and Now Flute Concerto was premiered with the Darwin Symphony conducted by Matthew Wood and has been performed a number of times subsequently, including at both the Australian and Swedish Flute Festivals.
