Thank you Bruce and Ross for your messages about forth coming Bartok and
Sculthorpe activities.

I listened in to ABC Classic FM Radio yesterday through my mobile phone on my
way home from church travelling on the train and tuned in to an orchestral
concert to find I was listening to a piece of music that sounded Bartok like. It
turned out it was Shostakovich Cello Concerto No 2 in G minor, Op 126 35'00
played by Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra
Truls Mřrk, cello; Tugan Sokhiev, conductor. It does go to show that Bartok was
quite an influence on modern music and composers.

Bruce, I will try to catch the Sculthorpe concert. Another good modern
Australian composer is Elaina Katts-Chermin whose music I also enjoy and one of
her music pieces has made its way into the Lloyds Bank Advertisement (Eliza's
Aria from the ballet music 'The Wild Swans'). When I get some money I will
download it onto my mobile phone and use it as a ringtone.

Please everyone let us know of any future concerts featuring Bartok's music. I
will try to monitor the ABC Classic FM Site.

Warm Regards,
Christine Gleeson
