The violist talks about the world premiere of his new work for Blackheath Chamber Music Festival and his first steps in writing for the voice.

This month’s performance highlights from ABC Classic, independent radio and streaming.

Our recording of the month for August is the Tinalley Quartet's second release of Mendelssohn string quartets.

Early music wins the laurels this month, from Jordi Savall’s medieval fiddle to David Skinner’s William Byrd and a trifecta of Handelian delights.

Tinalley String Quartet's second instalment of Mendelssohn Quartets excels on all fronts.

Entertaining, heart-warming, friendly and fun, this year's Festival was a triumph.

Highlights include a new work by Jessica Wells, a choir of thousands, and the return of a revamped Opera at Jimbour.

And Bradman makes five for some striking Mendelssohn.

Oxana Shevchenko and the Tinalley String Quartet bring gleaming warmth to Shostakovich's Piano Quintet.

From fine food and wine to Bach in the Barns, the festival celebrates the wonders of what Tasmania has to offer.

Festival Director Allanah Dopson and harpsichordist Erin Helyard give us a taste of the upcoming festival, now in its second year.

Tinalley applies plenty of French polish and Aussie character to boot.
