2022 recitals were light on and occasionally cancelled (yet again) due to ongoing COVID fears and infections within the music scene in Melbourne. However, the gigs I did perform in were super meaningful, including many of my own compositions and world premiers. I also had the thrill of once again being surrounded by enthusiastic children in school shows and workshops (now that COVID restrictions have eased)… but only in Victoria, Queensland and Canberra in 2022. More coming in other states in 2023. Check out info about my school shows at NEXUS ARTS.
