I enjoy putting together programmes and podcasts.
For my 70th birthday in 2026 for which I have prepared a recital of piano music in A major – after all, it is A major event! – I have put produced podcasts for its 3 sections. You can sample them here.
For many years I contributed programmes to Fine Music Radio 101.3 in Cape Town. You will find some of these here. Subjects have included the musical keys, use of instruments in the orchestra, dance forms in classical music and literature in music. [“Only connect” is my mind’s mantra.]
Lately FMR has not been able to accommodate my work so I am putting podcasts of the programmes here. The first one of these series is called Theme and Variations. I encourage you to have a listen and to come back for more.
