Some lazy Sunday arvo listening

Tune into the Fool and the Opera from 6pm tonight to hear the incredibly charming Dan take you on a learner's journey through the world of opera. This week, it's all about the new Melbourne Recital Centre. David Barmby (artistic administrator), David Young (composer), Merlyn Quaife (soprano), Ian McDougall (architect) and Paul Dyer (conductor) talk about the Melbourne Recital Centre and Peter Richie (marketing coordinator) takes our listeners on an audio tour of the shiny new venue. Merlyn Quaife will also talk about her performance next week of Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2 with Arditti Quartet: it’s gay poetry set to no key signature. We will also take the journey into foreign territory a bit further and explore John Cage’s avant garde work on silence and in memory of the victims of the Victorian bushfires we will start the show with a moment’s silence.

If you miss the show live you can always catch the podcast available on the JOY website, where you'll also find a pick n mix of podcasts for all your listening tastes.

When you stop by make sure you have a listen to, (or download and take with you), Andy and Adrian's interview with Joan Rivers. They chat about her new book about plastic surgery as well as her new tour coming to Australia. And guess what … Joan is even going to have her own float at Mardi Gras!
