W T hether it be a Liszt Rhapsody, a Chopin Nocturne, a grand selection of Wagnarian melodics, or one of the latest jazz numbers, the fine tone, technique, brilliance of ensemble, and interpretation are qualities that shine forth and brand themselves indelibly in the minds of those who hear this fine combination of Australian musicians.
