In the August issue of ON AIR magazine, we meet remarkable young violinist Louise Turnbull who took out first place in The Talent Season 1, and hear about the extraordinary talents of the musicians who took part in the series.
We also take a look at the English Music Festival, which returns for a second year to showcase stunning works by English composers and Australian composers of English descent. The concerts feature musicians known and loved by 3MBS audiences, including a special appearance by The Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne with their renowned Director of Music, Christopher Watson.
