During lockdown I’ve “discovered” Vikingur Olafsson, a still young Icelandic pianist - absolutely superb!!!
ABC iView currently have a concert of his with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and his encore of a transcribed and (VERY!) slow movement from a Bach Organ Sonata (after a sublime Mozart 24th Piano Concerto) is just breathtaking…
At this stage, Mark will be re-commencing lessons on 11/10, for children and fully vaccinated adults.
This is of course subject to change as circumstances allow, and if the Music Teachers of Australia (MTA) recommend an alternative approach.
Very much looking forward to getting back into making music…
In accordance with Music Teachers’ Association (MTA) Guidelines, Mark will not be teaching whilst the current Sydney lockdown is in place. This will delay Term 3 start until we have the COVID “all clear”.
On another note, however, Mark is proud and relieved to say that he is fully vaccinated…
