I’ve always been interested in writing music for young musicians. While they may not always have the sophistication in performance of professional players, their enthusiasm and willingness to give things a go can often resulting in an envigorating performance.

My association with MLC School (a private girls’ school in Sydney) goes back to 1993, when I was first appointed as Director of Strings. During this time, I wrote a lot of music for the school ensembles as well as individual string players.

This collaboration has continued with this CD release. It contains premiere recordings of many works, including “Makedonsko Oro” from Balkan Connection, Love Serenade, technologic 1-2, Gentle Giant, Lullaby, Junior String Orchestra Suite, FourScore, “Grand Final Day” from the Violin Concerto No. 1 (in a violin and piano version), and Little Chrissietina’s Magic Fantasy (2 violin version).
