16.01.2022 An interesting opportunity for string players. A couple of years back the Con Community Orchestra had the privilege to work with Tngalo. Owen from Tngalo is currently residing in Argentina working with some remarkable musicians including Luciano Nobati - Violinista. During the shutdown in Argentina, Luciano is offering lessons or masterclasses (in English) to string players interested in Tango music and specifically bowing techniques unique to Tango. Interested string players or organisations can contact Luciano directly [email protected]. Or if there is enough local interest we could facilitate a group Zoom masterclass via the orchestra.

10.01.2022 Pre-Pandemic we had been rehearsing Toccata by Frescobaldi. Back in May with rehearsals shut down, our timpanist Greg Knight encouraged us to keep momentum and record the individual parts at home on phones and other devices. Here is the result - our first attempt at an ISO recording. Musical direction by Adrian Davis. Audio/visual mixing and editing by Greg Knight and David Rooney. In lieu of video, the somewhat random images (by David Rooney) show our home in the Botanic G...ardens and wider Wollongong during pre-shutdown rehearsals and various recent weather events.
