My father was a violinist. In fact, he was also a composer and a conductor. And while he was the only photographer in Mildura, Victoria for around 40 years, he also began the Mildura Symphony Orchestra. I grew up in a household full of the strains of beautiful classical music.
Then, as a teenager, I moved on to the fabulous music of the 80s and 90s – wasn't it the best? – and classical music took a back seat.
Now, why am I telling you this?
Because recently, writing about the music tours featured in this issue, I have gone back deep into listening to concertos, sonatas, symphonies, cantatas, operas – all that there is and all that you know – and it is beyond exquisite. So I'm encouraging you…
