New Year and New Podcasts

Posted on January 2, 2023 at 12:55 pm by Breandain O'Shea

Dear Listeners, 

 

Happy New Year!

Hopefully there is some time for listening this year as I will be  publishing two new podcasts about the phenomenal musician, Alma Moodie. 

Moodie was born in 1898 in Mount Morgan, a small town in rural Australia, but started her violin lessons in nearby Rockhampton. She moved to Europe early last century and eventually became a student of the legendary Carl Flesch, who referred to her as his favourite student.  

The violinist collaborated with renowned composers, among them Stravinsky, Pfizner and Reger, and cultivated friendships with aristocracy, philanthropists and artists including German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Alma Moodie’s influence and fame were far reaching, well beyond her untimely death in 1943.

Moodie’s story is riveting , and I am very excited about these productions. 

Also coming up in 2023 will be a new series of salons. David and I will be meeting early in the new year to get those organised.

Once again special thanks to the podcast sponsors: you make it possible for this project to continue. 

Remember to visit the Tall Poppies archives,  which feature in-depth interviews with  Australian luminaries including the author Gail Jones, theatre director Barrie Kosky and philosopher Peter Singer.

But for now, I wish you all a great start in 2023,  and happy listening, 

 

Breandáin
