At 10:40 am Ed Lippmann continues with Part 5 of Loved and Unloved and this week our topic is Sirius, the building that started this entire conversation.

At 11:00 am, my most special guest is mandolin virtuoso, Avi Avital, currently touring Australia with the Giocoso String Quartet for Music Viva. Our conversation takes in the history of the mandolin, the people who played it and its music and Avi’s own journey with this wonderful instrument. It’s all punctuated with tracks from his 4 CDs.

NOTE: AVI’S LAST CONCERT IN SYDNEY IS TONIGHT, 9 APRIL AT CITY RECITAL HALL!!!!

Mandolin music will feature in the rest of the program.

I look forward to your company.
