Ep 127 - All-Sorts
It takes a lot of work to put together the themed episodes that make up so much of this series so sometimes it’s nice to to take a break and just a wander through the sunlit forests of musical imagination with no particular destination in mind. So with that out of the way, here’s an episode of theme free All-Sorts.

Ep 126 - The Cambridge Summer School of Music
From 1946 to 1986 the Cambridge Summer School of Music was one of the nations most important arts events. Composers, students, musicians, music teachers and interested amateurs gathered at St Peters College just outside of Cambridge for a week of musical immersion. On a hot and humid Waipa day in January 1947 photographer Kathleen Reardon snapped a group of young composers sitting on the steps to the main building - Ronald Tremain, Edwin Carr, Carraigh Thompson, Ronald Dellow, Larry Pruden and Dorthea Franchi. Curiosity piqued, I wanted to know more about those young composers so this episode will be exploring something of their lives and music and keeping true to the spirit of the photo, I’ve endeavoured to find recordings of works composed closest to that time.

The NZSO performs Ronald Tremain - Symphony for Strings
