Today, I just wanted to apologise for leaving abruptly a few days ago, after handing in my handwritten score (Psalm 130 [with hidden words], Op.464) and included contact details regarding application to play on the piano. After telling some of my story to the 2 People working inside, while speaking with them, I felt the urge to cry, so I quickly left and was crying outside in the street, while I walked home to where I live with my Mum. I cried because the society tortured me and treated me a bit like trash, and because for many years I studied music and learned some Composition hoping to Marry and to start a Healthy Family someday - but CATT forbade me from employment (I therefore cannot afford to approach, with a clear conscience any Female to marry with, because I would not be able to support a Family later - but it did not matter that much, because all of the Females who I became in love with tended to abandon my Friendship anyway, even sometimes after called us "Friends"). It was difficult enough to earn anything as a musician or Composer, but on top of that, I had been forcefully drugged after a False Accusation in 2012 AD, and the drugs made it so that I could not think clearly enough to properly make any music at all - I even struggled in the classes Baroque Ensemble of the nearby University, because those substances prevented me from speaking properly or socialising and even from correctly reading the figured bass on the harpsichord, so I had to leave the classes, because my mind was functioning badly after what psychiatrists did to me over some ten years, because of the False Accusation. I am sorry for leaving abruptly, I did not want people to see me cry. Thank you for allowing me to hear a concert in the past and for not embracing digital currency like Good People should to embrace their Creator who invented them. Have a happy day.

Just got back home from a standing ovation concert by Meaghan Washington and the Impossible Orchestra. So good. Actually ... extraordinary! Her voice was at time angelic and at other times like a bluesy instrument both rough and so smooth. Seriously wonderful. And the orchestra was terrific, whoever did the orchestration was truly gifted. The venue and the staging and lighting all contributed to a euphoric evening. The breadbox shaped venue is quite understated and quite beautiful at the same time, with glorious acoustics, and warm wooden walls. And comfortable seats. Now this was an all round five star experience. Immediately outside the venue were good places to eat and drink, and taxi ranks with adequate cars, and also it is is short walk from the NGV parking, and St Kilda Road trams. And it was a balmy Melbourne evening. Perfect night.

Great acoustics and ease of access from our high rise accommodation in the Melbourne CBD. Chuck McGill and I drove over from South Australia on 2/3/20 to catch Patty Griffins concert. The venue was so much better than expected and with seating in the middle and 8 rows back, the night was perfect. The opening music by 24 yr old Brandon Dodd was great and the surprise of having Kasey Chambers join him on stage for two songs that were written by him was a bonus! Patty Griffin, David Pulkingham and Conrad Choucroun were brilliant and so humble in presenting their music to the almost packed centre. The concert felt all over before it began. A magical night for Chuck and a 9 out of 10 with a bullet for me. Well done to all involved for this Melbourne event. 👍👍👍

Ten magnificent years of music! While it hasn't been possible to attend every event, some have - figuratively speaking - raised the roof and others have brought the house down. Those who brought us Bruckner's 4th symphony in 2019 certainly seemed to put their all into belting out the notes; MRC's walls, however, are made of tough stuff and didn't come tumblin' down. Sometimes we pondered the question of whether size matters and had a quintet demonstrate that in performing Scheherazade, five can be fab. But then doubling the number of musicians (from one to two) meant we were able to experience Tubular Bells in performance. Many thanks, Melbourne Recital Centre, for all those fascinatin' rhythms. (And that fascinating wood panelling.)

Mighty impressed with what they’ve done with this place. Came here for The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra performing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. I love the styling and the size of the building, I think they got the size just right; not too big, just right to make it feel exclusive. I had seats back i think 5 or 6 rows from the very back but I could see and hear the stage perfectly. The bar stocked a nice range of craft beers, wine and even single malt whiskies. The performance itself was awesome and I look forward to coming back and checking out another show.
