Keshovati by Wendy Hiscocks was written in 2002 and is based on a Bengali folk tale. Composer and music educator, Anne Boyd wrote her much performed Goldfish through Summer Rain in 1979. Air on Pipe is by composer and flautist Brett Thompson who studied in both Australia and London. 

Also featured will be Mark Underwood’s enjoyable Waltzing Matilda Variations. In his anniversary year, we shall also pay tribute to the music of French composer Gabriel Fauré (1845 – 1924) whose music has been described as the link between Romanticism and 20th century romanticism.
