The Anzac Day Concert and Sunset Festival will be a deeply moving ceremony. I will be performing at The Sydney Town Hall with the release of The Last Post Flute and Didgeridoo meditation.
Through my compositions, my music, my art & my flute, I seek to connect everything in the universe. My musical approach to the artistic moment is conveyed in ‘Syrinx at the Waterhole Karnak’ (from my album Flute Spirit: Dreams and Meditations)
Listening to relaxing piano music with the beautiful flute sounds is fast becoming a popular mental health tonic in these challenging times, due to its proven ability to stimulate alpha brain waves.

As a young woman, I met the inimitable Diane Cilento, who during her life guided me on many different paths of inspiration. The flute music piece is called ‘blo’ from album Titania’s Dream, commissioned by Diane for her production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I love music that has a melodic and harmonic narrative. My new #WorldMusic Album #ThirdCulture is a good example – John Huie’s gorgeous pieces (for flute, guitar, Chinese banjo, percussion and bass) take us on an evocative journey… Xiao Ma means Little Horse
The sound of the Flute can connect us on a spiritual & meditative level. If you need to CHILL, a flute meditation piece I wrote (album #FluteSpiritdreamsandImprovistations). Titled Yugali, Pan
Here’s a quick interview in which we discussed how there are so many great flute players in the world now (perhaps thanks to the French Flute School!), so competition is tough. A piece of advice from Monsieur Guiot on how to stay within the Classical Flute World whilst at the same time attracting an audience!
