City of London Festival 2011: Australian Composers
Ivan Hewett presents a concert from the 2011 City of London Festival, in which the Goldner String Quartet plays music by Australian composers, including Sculthorpe and Westlake.
Hear and Now goes "Down Under" with a concert from this year's Antipodean-themed City of London Festival featuring the Australian-based Goldner Quartet. Their programme, recorded last month at the elegant Goldsmiths' Hall near St Paul's Cathedral, includes works by some of Australia's leading composers, many of which feature a guest appearance by didgeridoo player William Barton.
There's also the first of two reports from Australian broadcaster Julian Day on cutting-edge Australian composers and new-music performers who are living and working in Europe.
