We are still talking about Adelaide Festival and Fringe programs apart from one deviation taking a fresh look at Miriam Hyde through the fresh eyes of Celia Craig.
My guests are: Celia Craig, Anne Wiberg, Seamas Carey, plus information about Jess Hitchcock and the Penny Quartet, and Georgina Bowden whose composition is being performed by Musikfabrik.
Too many people think of Miriam Hyde as an old lady with grey hair who wrote pieces to be played in AMEB piano exams. Through her research Celia Craig has brought the young Miriam to life, full of talent an whose compositions were played by top orchestras in London. A musician of whom we should be very proud.
Anne Wyberg talks about The Courtyard Festival Plaza, their fabulous Festival meeting place for pre-show and post-show drinks and entertainment from the 27 February to 26 March. Free Entry
