This August, we are thrilled to partner with Musica Viva Australia to broadcast Strike A Chord, and in our August edition of ON AIR we feature an interview with cellist Rohan de Korte, juror in this wonderful chamber music competition for school students. Rohan shares with us his particular love for chamber music and his hopes for the young performers who are embracing this intimate and thrilling art form.
Continuing the celebration of emerging musicians, we also feature the winner of Season 1 of The Talent, pianist Diego Yu—you can read about his stunning performances as you tune into Season 2, which returns to the airwaves this month.
