- Inspiring, touching and deeply moving.

Divertimento for Strings (2008) - World Premiere

Commissioned by Ars Musica Australis, Melbourne's own Ever-ready priest reinvents the divertimento.

Clarinet concerto in A major, K622

THE favourite Mozart work.

Funeral music in memory of Bela Bartok

Stunning, rich string resonance.

'Farewell' Symphony

A gem of the early classical repertoire. While written as a joke, this work is contemplative - with a disquieting sort of happiness.
