There is considerable controversy around Australia Day, and I have empathy with those who are upset by the date, its title and the dark side of what it represents. Nonetheless, having been asked for a number of years as a flutist to participate as an Australia Day Ambassador, I felt honoured to accept.
I was involved in the gentle Reawakening Open Day last week at the late Diane Cilento’s Karnak Playhouse Far North Queensland. So thrilled to see such a big turnout, the day involved brilliant activities and circus performances by members of Wilde Applause Creative Productions, three talks by Giovanna Cilento Volpe and myself and three flute performances.
Great teachers can hand one the path to one’s destiny! This was the case with my French flute teacher, the wonderful Alain Marion. As with so many of his students, Alain became my guru-not just for the flute, but for living, for appreciation, for art, for food, everything.
