I was pleased to see the special promotion of Orange-born Tim Hansen's music on The Australian Music Centre's website today.
I admit I'm biased, because Tim has composed music for my son Daniel McKay to play, including an entertaining concerto for amplified classical guitar and orchestra and also a piece called Earwig, which Daniel recorded with violinist Zoë Black.
You can hear Daniel and Zoë's version of the piece in the next Armchair Concert program, on Monday, 2nd April between 1.30 and 3.30 PM on 2MCE FM, Bathurst's community radio station.
We will also be rebroadcasting part of a terrific concert which featured duo pianists Max and Haydn Reeder and flutist Prem Love. Prem teaches at Orange and Mitchell Conservatoriums. He plays flute superbly and we will later feature him in a wonderful concert where he plays with flutist, Phil Braithwaite and pianist, Cindy Fox.
Max Reeder was for many years Senior Music Lecturer at Charles Sturt University and also director of Mitchell Conservatorium. Max and brother Haydn will be heard playing piano duet works by Mozart, Debussy, Bizet and others.
We hope you will listen on 92.3, 94.7 FM, at 2MCE.org or by using the smartphone tunein radio app. There's plenty of ways to make sure you don't miss the program.
