SUMMARY:Streisand Sings\, Purling Swings plus "The Way We Were"
DESCRIPTION:The renowned Kym Purling Trio interprets the music of Barbara Streisand\, followed by the 50th anniversary screening of “The Way We Were.”\nConsidered one of the great romantic films of all time\, The Way We Were celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. What better way to mark the occasion than to present one of South Australia’s biggest musical exports\, world renowned and world class pianist Kym Purling\, to interpret the music of the movie’s star\, Barbara Streisand. Purling has returned to Australia following almost three decades based in New York and Paris. He has established himself internationally\, performing in more than 140 countries around the world alongside many stars such as Engelbert Humperdinck and Natalie Cole. He has conducted several Broadway shows and has made significant contributions in the worlds of jazz and musical theatre. We are excited to invite you to this special performance to experience Purling’s renditions of our favourite Streisand songs before the screening of The Way We Were. \n1:00pm BAR OPEN IN THE FOYER \n2:00pm THE KYM PURLING TRIO \n3:00pm THE WAY WE WERE \n \nKYM PURLING’S BIOGRAPHY\n\n\n\nEARLY LIFE \nKym Purling was born in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City)\, two and a half years before the end of the Vietnam War. The exact date of his birth is unknown. Knowledge of the identity of Purling’s birthparents is also unknown. Purling was found abandoned as a baby at only a few days old and was then briefly hospitalized before being placed in an orphanage in Saigon\, where the director of the orphanage gave him the name Vu Tien Quyen. (Note: In Vietnam\, Vu is the family name and the given name Quyen\, means bird. The middle name Tien\, can mean sky\, heaven\, spirit or angel but can also mean to move forward\, improve or develop in the way of power and human rights). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoon after\, Purling was placed in a second orphanage run by World Vision\, called the New Life Babies Home. While receiving vaccinations\, he received an alias name\, David Hùng. (Note: This name was given to him by the nurses in order to confuse and cast away the evil spirits so that Purling would return to good health). Meanwhile\, a South Australian couple\, (soon to be Kym’s adoptive parents)\, had already spent two long years battling ‘red tape’ and lobbying governments and aid agencies to demonstrate their protest to the war in Vietnam and to adopt an orphaned Vietnamese baby. With the help of an Australian matron at the home\, Purling was finally adopted at the age of nine months\, becoming the first international adoption of any nationality in Australia. He was renamed Kym\, an Asian and western name\, to make it easier for his Australian family and friends to pronounce. His middle name\, David\, was chosen not only in reference to his new adoptive father’s name but also because of the alias name\, David Hung’\, which he was given while hospitalized in Vietnam. \nPurling\, along with three other babies and a fourteen year old Vietnamese girl\, were secretly airlifted from Vietnam to Melbourne (Australia)\, where Mrs. Judith Purling and three other anxious mothers awaited the arrival of the orphans. The thirteen year old girl was the first to exit the plane to be reunited with her sister that she had not seen in two years. Her exit served as a diversion to the awaiting media while Purling and the other babies departed through the back door of the plane into the arms of their new mothers. (Note: Purling has since reunited with the matron in the home in Saigon\, and with the fourteen year old Vietnamese girl and the three other babies. Interestingly\, now in their adult lives\, all four are involved in music either professionally or semi-professionally. (See the first of two 60 Minutes television specials on YouTube and national Australian newspaper article\, “Orphans Of ‘Nam Reunite”). \nMUSICAL BEGINNINGS \nKym Purling’s musical life began at the age of five. Purling’s eldest sister was studying classical piano and Purling would observe his sister practicing then mimic the songs she was practicing \, instantly by ear. At the age of six\, he began formal classical piano training. He continued classical studies throughout primary school and high school while teaching himself to play various other styles of music. Purling played trumpet and various percussion instruments through his schooling life and toured to Malaysia at the age of fourteen playing trumpet. Purling was raised in the church\, (Purling’s father and sister are both Christian ministers of religion)\, which also provided him the opportunity at a young age to play from lead sheets and/or without music\, a foundation towards playing jazz\, a music which Purling would later fall in love with and eventually carve a career from. \nPROFESSIONAL CAREER \nPurling began working semi-professionally as a pianist during his teens and was also teaching\, accompanying and playing for several national Australian dance companies such as the internationally acclaimed\, Meryl Tankard’s Australian Dance Theatre. During these years\, Kym also engaged in some acting and film work. He had a major role in a documentary film\, “Moving Up” and also acted in a feature film titled\, Sebastian and the Sparrow\, by filmmaker Scott Hicks\, director of Shine and Snow Falling On Cedars. \nPurling later earned a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies at the University of Adelaide (Australia)\, a step that that would put him on a new but certain direction. He began working extensively as a jazz pianist in \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdelaide\, Sydney and Melbourne with his own trio\, which also served as a rhythm section for many leading Australian vocalists and instrumentalists. He engaged in studio session work for radio and television commercials\, performed regularly at local and national establishments and appeared at many music\, arts and jazz festivals. \nDuring the early nineties\, Purling also worked extensively in the corporate sector\, making 200-250 performances each year. Purling has performed with many national and international artists such as The Mills Brothers\, Kay Starr\, Buddy Greco\, The Pied Pipers\, Clint Holmes\, Carl Fontana\, David Cassidy\, Marlena Shaw\, Joe Williams and Frank Sinatra Jr. Purling has also toured internationally and made national television performances in the U.S. with vocal legends\, Natalie Cole and Engelbert Humperdinck. He has shared the stage with many other artists such as Julio Iglesias\, Arturo Sandoval\, There Might Be Giants\, Sandra Bernhardt\, Harry Connick\, Jr.\, James Morrison and the Ray Brown Trio. He has also musical-directed for a vocalist with Wayne Newton and was also offered the position as pianist and musical director for stage and film legend\, Mickey Rooney. Purling has recorded several compact disc albums under his own name and appeared as a sideman on countless albums in Australia\, the U.S. and Asia. At the age of just 24\, following his second nomination\, Purling was presented the award for the Most Outstanding Keyboard Player of the Year at the South Australian Music Industry Awards. Soon after\, he declined an offer to teach at the University of Adelaide after being offered a position as an Ambassador for the Performing Arts\, between Australia and Vietnam. During the ambassadorship\, (the first time Purling had returned to his homeland since being adopted)\, he performed and taught music with Vietnamese children\, students\, adults and professional musicians\, while also making solo recordings for educational purposes. He performed sold out concerts in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and spent a large amount of his time writing arrangements\, teaching and performing with The Saigon Jazz Band\, a project that he created with the famous Vietnamese vocalist\, Tuyet Loan\, a woman who frequently performed in the G.I. camps during the Vietnam War and is a household name in Vietnam. \nWhile in Ho Chi Minh City\, Purling’s hotel room often became an unplanned teaching studio due to the young and enthusiastic Vietnamese who were interested in jazz and had discovered where Purling was residing. Many times they appeared unannounced at his hotel room door\, introducing themselves and requesting instruction in jazz improvisation. During the ambassadorship\, Purling also formed vital administrative\, musical and personal connections between the two countries. He also appeared in many newspapers and on many radio stations during the residency. Purling’s performances were the first non- classical or traditional music concerts ever held at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music\, (Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh Nhac Vien). Purling was also offered a teaching position at the Conservatory of Music but declined the offer due to commitments awaiting him back in Australia. \nInterestingly\, five years later\, a Vietnamese woman had discovered one of the many Vietnamese newspaper articles that featured Purling and claimed that he was her biological son. She was not Purling’s biological mother. \nPurling then returned to Australia before touring to London\, Amsterdam and Den Haag where he performed each day at The North Sea Jazz Festival\, the world’s largest indoor jazz festival boasting an audience of 85\,000 people. On completion of the tour\, he moved to the United States and completed a Masters Degree in Jazz Studies at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. During this time\, Purling taught on the university faculty while performing extensively in almost every Las Vegas showroom\, concert venue and hotel and casino. He quickly a network for himself in Las Vegas and used his contacts in \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralia to personally organize and lead an international tour to Australia for the 19 member UNLV Big Band. (See second of two 60 Minutes TV Special on YouTube). The tour was very successful\, impressing Australian jazz fans\, critics and musicians with his American fellow musicians and the reunion performances he made with his former Australian trio. (Funding for the tour was provided in part by U.S. comedian Drew Carey). \nPurling returned to Las Vegas to continue his teaching and performing before touring to Scotland to perform with a U.S. jazz quintet. The group performed nightly for two weeks at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival\, receiving notable reviews from various Scottish newspapers. By 2000\, Purling had established his own following in Las Vegas. He created this audience through his varied performances at many of the new resorts that had opened since he had moved there. Purling was one of the first musicians to perform at The Bellagio\, Paris Las Vegas\, Mandalay Bay\, The Venetian\, The Aladdin and the Eiffel Tower Restaurant\, where he performed with his Las Vegas Trio on the eve of January 01\, 2000 as fireworks sprinkled down past its windows and the clock ticked over into the new millennium. \nPurling later returned and toured again to Australia to present some reunion performances with his former Australian trio. Soon after his return to the United States\, he relocated to New York City after being offered the position of musical-director and conductor for the U.S. National Tour of Footloose the Musical\, a traveling Broadway show from New York City. With Footloose\, Purling traveled to 247 cities in just eleven months. Whilst on the road with Footloose\, Purling was also commissioned to compose the score for a new musical that premiered in Chicago later that year. He composed and wrote the music on a small keyboard and laptop while touring on buses and planes around the U.S. At the conclusion of the Footloose tour in Springfield\, Illinois\, Purling drove to Chicago the next night and watched his musical score being performed on stage by singers\, actors and dancers he had never met before. Purling then returned to his performances in Las Vegas and began working on his own original musical and other long-term projects. \nSoon after\, Purling was hired for the 2002-2004 U.S. & Canadian national tours of the acclaimed Broadway musical\, Miss Saigon. Purling made the decision to travel with the show not only to discover more of North America and Canada\, but because of the many parallels between the story of Miss Saigon and his own life. Due to Purling’s personal connection to the show and the work achieved in his own career\, Purling received an incredible and overwhelming amount of media interest and attention from newspapers and radio and televisions stations all across the United States and Canada. (Many of these newspaper articles\, radio interviews and television clips can be found in the Portfolio and Film & Television sections at www.kympurling.com and on YouTube). \nThe U.S. tour of Miss Saigon continued for a further two years\, however\, Purling left the show partway through after being appointed as musical director and conductor for the Japanese and North American tours of the acclaimed Broadway musical\, 42nd Street. Purling particularly enjoyed Japan because after conducting his show each night\, he would seek out the many small jazz clubs hidden around Tokyo\, Nagoya\, Osaka and Kyoto and play with the local Japanese jazz musicians until the early hours of the morning. \nPurling later returned to Australia to headline a concert with David Helfgott\, the acclaimed classical pianist and subject of the motion picture\, Shine. He also performed a series of jazz concerts and workshops throughout Sydney\, Melbourne and Adelaide. Purling later relocated to Florida and continued to perform locally\, nationally and internationally. In Florida\, he formed another trio\, recording albums and performing concerts around the U.S. He has engaged in regular national television work\, including a one-hour television special with Natalie Cole\, the daughter of legendary singer\, Nat ‘King’ Cole. Purling then continued to travel the world as musical director\, conductor and pianist for vocal legend\, Engelbert Humperdinck. During the two year period with Humperdinck\, Purling performed in most of the world’s most prestigious concert halls and largest outdoor arenas around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the appointment with Engelbert Humperdinck\, Purling resided in Los Angeles for a short time\, performing regularly in Beverley Hills and around Los Angeles with many of the city’s best jazz musicians. He also worked steadily at Henson Studios playing on television commercials for Hyundai and many other companies. \nPurling then began to split his time between New York and Paris\, realizing that he needed a European base when beginning another new chapter as a fly-on headline artist\, performing his own shows with a seven piece band in the 500-1500 seat theaters on the world’s most luxurious cruise lines. Purling continues to partner his passion for international travel and performing by flying to the fleets of thirteen of the world’s best cruise lines. Purling has now traveled to 144 countries and continues to work from the U.S.\, Europe\, Asia and Australia. \nPurling is an active humanitarian and has made numerous performances for charity\, providing funds to aid his various humanitarian projects\, primarily assisting orphans and children in Vietnam and Nepal. He has given concerts and sourced funding to feed 2000 children in Nepal and later another concert to provide funds following the catastrophic earthquakes in Nepal in 2015. In 2019\, Purling gave another concert to aid The Sunrise Children’s Association\, an organization based in Adelaide\, South Australia which reunites Nepalese orphans and trafficked children with their families and assists them to create a living for themselves. Purling has and continues to donate his talents and services offering concerts to raise funds for several past and ongoing charities such as the Australian Cranial Facial Foundation\, The Variety Club of South Australia\, The Global Action Coalition (Florida-Nepal)\, Hands For Hope (Vietnam) and several other humanitarian charities.

Purling was raised in the church\, (Purling’s father and sister are both Christian ministers of religion)\, which also provided him the opportunity at a young age to play from lead sheets and/or without music\, a foundation towards playing jazz\, a music which Purling would later fall in love with and eventually carve a career from. \nPROFESSIONAL CAREER \nPurling began working semi-professionally as a pianist during his teens and was also teaching\, accompanying and playing for several national Australian dance companies such as the internationally acclaimed\, Meryl Tankard’s Australian Dance Theatre. During these years\, Kym also engaged in some acting and film work. He had a major role in a documentary film\, “Moving Up” and also acted in a feature film titled\, Sebastian and the Sparrow\, by filmmaker Scott Hicks\, director of Shine and Snow Falling On Cedars. \nPurling later earned a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies at the University of Adelaide (Australia)\, a step that that would put him on a new but certain direction. He began working extensively as a jazz pianist in \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdelaide\, Sydney and Melbourne with his own trio\, which also served as a rhythm section for many leading Australian vocalists and instrumentalists. He engaged in studio session work for radio and television commercials\, performed regularly at local and national establishments and appeared at many music\, arts and jazz festivals. \nDuring the early nineties\, Purling also worked extensively in the corporate sector\, making 200-250 performances each year. Purling has performed with many national and international artists such as The Mills Brothers\, Kay Starr\, Buddy Greco\, The Pied Pipers\, Clint Holmes\, Carl Fontana\, David Cassidy\, Marlena Shaw\, Joe Williams and Frank Sinatra Jr. Purling has also toured internationally and made national television performances in the U.S. with vocal legends\, Natalie Cole and Engelbert Humperdinck. He has shared the stage with many other artists such as Julio Iglesias\, Arturo Sandoval\, There Might Be Giants\, Sandra Bernhardt\, Harry Connick\, Jr.\, James Morrison and the Ray Brown Trio. He has also musical-directed for a vocalist with Wayne Newton and was also offered the position as pianist and musical director for stage and film legend\, Mickey Rooney. Purling has recorded several compact disc albums under his own name and appeared as a sideman on countless albums in Australia\, the U.S. and Asia. At the age of just 24\, following his second nomination\, Purling was presented the award for the Most Outstanding Keyboard Player of the Year at the South Australian Music Industry Awards. Soon after\, he declined an offer to teach at the University of Adelaide after being offered a position as an Ambassador for the Performing Arts\, between Australia and Vietnam. During the ambassadorship\, (the first time Purling had returned to his homeland since being adopted)\, he performed and taught music with Vietnamese children\, students\, adults and professional musicians\, while also making solo recordings for educational purposes. He performed sold out concerts in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and spent a large amount of his time writing arrangements\, teaching and performing with The Saigon Jazz Band\, a project that he created with the famous Vietnamese vocalist\, Tuyet Loan\, a woman who frequently performed in the G.I. camps during the Vietnam War and is a household name in Vietnam. \nWhile in Ho Chi Minh City\, Purling’s hotel room often became an unplanned teaching studio due to the young and enthusiastic Vietnamese who were interested in jazz and had discovered where Purling was residing. Many times they appeared unannounced at his hotel room door\, introducing themselves and requesting instruction in jazz improvisation. During the ambassadorship\, Purling also formed vital administrative\, musical and personal connections between the two countries. He also appeared in many newspapers and on many radio stations during the residency. Purling’s performances were the first non- classical or traditional music concerts ever held at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music\, (Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh Nhac Vien). Purling was also offered a teaching position at the Conservatory of Music but declined the offer due to commitments awaiting him back in Australia. \nInterestingly\, five years later\, a Vietnamese woman had discovered one of the many Vietnamese newspaper articles that featured Purling and claimed that he was her biological son. She was not Purling’s biological mother. \nPurling then returned to Australia before touring to London\, Amsterdam and Den Haag where he performed each day at The North Sea Jazz Festival\, the world’s largest indoor jazz festival boasting an audience of 85\,000 people. On completion of the tour\, he moved to the United States and completed a Masters Degree in Jazz Studies at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. During this time\, Purling taught on the university faculty while performing extensively in almost every Las Vegas showroom\, concert venue and hotel and casino. He quickly a network for himself in Las Vegas and used his contacts in \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralia to personally organize and lead an international tour to Australia for the 19 member UNLV Big Band. (See second of two 60 Minutes TV Special on YouTube). The tour was very successful\, impressing Australian jazz fans\, critics and musicians with his American fellow musicians and the reunion performances he made with his former Australian trio. (Funding for the tour was provided in part by U.S. comedian Drew Carey). \nPurling returned to Las Vegas to continue his teaching and performing before touring to Scotland to perform with a U.S. jazz quintet. The group performed nightly for two weeks at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival\, receiving notable reviews from various Scottish newspapers. By 2000\, Purling had established his own following in Las Vegas. He created this audience through his varied performances at many of the new resorts that had opened since he had moved there. Purling was one of the first musicians to perform at The Bellagio\, Paris Las Vegas\, Mandalay Bay\, The Venetian\, The Aladdin and the Eiffel Tower Restaurant\, where he performed with his Las Vegas Trio on the eve of January 01\, 2000 as fireworks sprinkled down past its windows and the clock ticked over into the new millennium. \nPurling later returned and toured again to Australia to present some reunion performances with his former Australian trio. Soon after his return to the United States\, he relocated to New York City after being offered the position of musical-director and conductor for the U.S. National Tour of Footloose the Musical\, a traveling Broadway show from New York City. With Footloose\, Purling traveled to 247 cities in just eleven months. Whilst on the road with Footloose\, Purling was also commissioned to compose the score for a new musical that premiered in Chicago later that year. He composed and wrote the music on a small keyboard and laptop while touring on buses and planes around the U.S. At the conclusion of the Footloose tour in Springfield\, Illinois\, Purling drove to Chicago the next night and watched his musical score being performed on stage by singers\, actors and dancers he had never met before. Purling then returned to his performances in Las Vegas and began working on his own original musical and other long-term projects. \nSoon after\, Purling was hired for the 2002-2004 U.S. & Canadian national tours of the acclaimed Broadway musical\, Miss Saigon. Purling made the decision to travel with the show not only to discover more of North America and Canada\, but because of the many parallels between the story of Miss Saigon and his own life. Due to Purling’s personal connection to the show and the work achieved in his own career\, Purling received an incredible and overwhelming amount of media interest and attention from newspapers and radio and televisions stations all across the United States and Canada. (Many of these newspaper articles\, radio interviews and television clips can be found in the Portfolio and Film & Television sections at www.kympurling.com and on YouTube). \nThe U.S. tour of Miss Saigon continued for a further two years\, however\, Purling left the show partway through after being appointed as musical director and conductor for the Japanese and North American tours of the acclaimed Broadway musical\, 42nd Street. Purling particularly enjoyed Japan because after conducting his show each night\, he would seek out the many small jazz clubs hidden around Tokyo\, Nagoya\, Osaka and Kyoto and play with the local Japanese jazz musicians until the early hours of the morning. \nPurling later returned to Australia to headline a concert with David Helfgott\, the acclaimed classical pianist and subject of the motion picture\, Shine. He also performed a series of jazz concerts and workshops throughout Sydney\, Melbourne and Adelaide. Purling later relocated to Florida and continued to perform locally\, nationally and internationally. In Florida\, he formed another trio\, recording albums and performing concerts around the U.S. He has engaged in regular national television work\, including a one-hour television special with Natalie Cole\, the daughter of legendary singer\, Nat ‘King’ Cole. Purling then continued to travel the world as musical director\, conductor and pianist for vocal legend\, Engelbert Humperdinck. During the two year period with Humperdinck\, Purling performed in most of the world’s most prestigious concert halls and largest outdoor arenas around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the appointment with Engelbert Humperdinck\, Purling resided in Los Angeles for a short time\, performing regularly in Beverley Hills and around Los Angeles with many of the city’s best jazz musicians. He also worked steadily at Henson Studios playing on television commercials for Hyundai and many other companies. \nPurling then began to split his time between New York and Paris\, realizing that he needed a European base when beginning another new chapter as a fly-on headline artist\, performing his own shows with a seven piece band in the 500-1500 seat theaters on the world’s most luxurious cruise lines. Purling continues to partner his passion for international travel and performing by flying to the fleets of thirteen of the world’s best cruise lines. Purling has now traveled to 144 countries and continues to work from the U.S.\, Europe\, Asia and Australia. \nPurling is an active humanitarian and has made numerous performances for charity\, providing funds to aid his various humanitarian projects\, primarily assisting orphans and children in Vietnam and Nepal. He has given concerts and sourced funding to feed 2000 children in Nepal and later another concert to provide funds following the catastrophic earthquakes in Nepal in 2015. In 2019\, Purling gave another concert to aid The Sunrise Children’s Association\, an organization based in Adelaide\, South Australia which reunites Nepalese orphans and trafficked children with their families and assists them to create a living for themselves. Purling has and continues to donate his talents and services offering concerts to raise funds for several past and ongoing charities such as the Australian Cranial Facial Foundation\, The Variety Club of South Australia\, The Global Action Coalition (Florida-Nepal)\, Hands For Hope (Vietnam) and several other humanitarian charities.

DESCRIPTION:40 & FABULOUS!!!\n\nOur main concert Magical Movie Music\, with Tony Fenelon OAM and Theatre Organist of the Year 2002\, who has performed around the world\, plus John Atwell; two of the three surviving organists from the inaugural 1983 concert. John is also an international organist and has performed on both theatre organ and classical organ around Australia. It will be a welcome return by these two who have played here in concert\, both solo and organ-piano duets\, many times over the past 40 years. There will be some audio-visual surprises from the inaugural concert as well as video on the big screen of the organists as they perform magical music from some of the great movies. Music will include “The Warsaw Concerto”\, a short work for piano and orchestra by Richard Addinsell\, written for the 1941 British film “Dangerous Moonlight”\, which is about the Polish struggle against the 1939 invasion by Nazi Germany. Several film scores by John Williams will include “Star Trek”\, “Raiders of the Lost Arc”\, and “Jurassic Park”. This should be an afternoon to remember.\n\nThis event is part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the mighty WurliTzer theatre organ’s inaugural concert at the Capri Theatre.

As a child\, he showed astounding talent as a pianist\, and\, in later years\, studied at the Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne\, Australia under famed teacher Mr. Roy Shepherd. His successes included winning the Victorian Final of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Concerto and Vocal Competitions\, playing the Liszt Piano Concerto No.2 with the Victorian Symphony Orchestra. He was also winner of the Open and Bach sections at the National Eisteddfod in Canberra\, with his performances of Chopin\, Liszt and Bach. Shortly after\, he obtained the highest marks ever awarded for his Licentiate Diploma in Performing Piano at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.\n\nTony’s insatiable interest in lighter music and a love of the majestic sound of the theatre pipe organ led to him excelling in two diverse careers concurrently. A Science graduate from Melbourne University\, he went on to become Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Royal Melbourne Hospital where he was credited as the joint designer of Australia’s first implantable cardiac pacemaker\,  His other career was as a master of the keyboard; the piano\, organ and theatre organ which led to his appointment in 1965 as the resident organist at Melbourne’s then prestigious Regent Theatre and eventually led to a full-time music performance career.\n\nNow an internationally acclaimed artist\, Tony career has taken him on more than thirty world tours\, visiting many countries\, including the United States\, the U.K. and Japan. He has released record albums in various countries – his first\, at the Regent Theatre\, Melbourne\, earning him four gold records. He has explored the world of electronic music\, MIDI and computers\, and has had many of his orchestral arrangements and CDs featured on ABC FM radio in Australia. Tony’s association with the Roland Corporation saw him performing promotional concerts throughout Australia\, the United States\, Japan\, the United Kingdom and New Zealand on Roland’s extensive range of musical instruments.\n\nTony’s concerts provide a tasteful balance between popular tunes and light classics and include music from the films\, stage shows\, jazz\, and great standards. As the piano has always been his first love\, his extensive repertoire of piano classics now forms an increasingly large proportion of his concerts\, a feature widely requested by his audiences.\n\nWith John Atwell\, Tony is Co-Patron of TOSA (SA).\n\nDR JOHN ATWELL\n\nDr John Atwell has had the pleasure of entertaining audiences on the theatre organ for tnearly 50 years\, both in Australia and around the world – in the United Kingdom\, USA\, Canada and New Zealand. In that time he has developed a reputation for providing programs\, whether in concert or on recordings\, which are carefully put together to provide a variety of enjoyable music\, with a balance between the familiar and the not so well known. His playing style is not easily pigeonholed\, but reflects the diversity of his musical experience.\n\nHighlights over the past years have included piano/organ duo concerts presented with Tony Fenelon\, his long time friend and musical colleague for over 40 years. In June 2010\, John and Tony were privileged to present the opening concert of the annual Convention of the American Theatre Organ Society at the Paramount Theatre\, Seattle. It was there that John released his new recording made on the Style H Wurlitzer\, once in the Prince Edward Theatre\, Sydney\, now installed in the Marrickville Town Hall. In September 2010 they joined in the celebration of TOSA Vic’s 50th year by playing the opening concert at the Dendy Theatre Brighton following the extensive renovation of the organ.\n\nJohn is also an experienced classical organist and over the years he has played many classical organ recitals\, In 2004 he took part in the concerts to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the installation of the organ in the Sydney Opera House. He is also an experienced accompanist\, both on piano and organ. He spent many years as accompanist and resident artist with the Maroondah Singers\, as well as with other choirs in the Melbourne area.\n\nJohn is co-patron of the Theatre Organ Society Divisions in both South Australia and New South Wales. John is also one of the house organists at the Regent Theatre\, Melbourne home to the 4/36 Wurlitzer organ\, previously installed in the Paramount Theatre\, San Francisco. He has played for the premiere performance of “Ned Kelly” with Heath Ledger and the movie version of “Phantom of the Opera”\, as well as seasons of Gone With the Wind and Dr Zhivago\, plus a special tribute to Frank Sinatra.\n\nJohn has retired from his full-time career as a medical research scientist. He has a doctorate in immunology and published many scientific papers and several patents. However\, John has found that retirement does not necessarily mean you have more time on your hands.

SUMMARY:Charade + the music of Johnny Mercer live on stage
DESCRIPTION:Johnny Mercer was best known as a Tin Pan Alley lyricist\, who wrote many successful hits including the title track from Charade\, for which he won an Oscar.

SUMMARY:EOS - Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on Screen presents Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman \nMary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual\, feminine and real\, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. \nPresenting her astonishing prints\, pastels\, and paintings\, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted. \nShe printed\, sketched\, and painted dozens of images of mothers and children yet she never married or had children herself. She was a classically trained artist but chose to join a group of Parisian radicals – the Impressionists – a movement that transformed the language of art. \nThe world’s most eminent Cassatt curators and scholars help tell this riveting tale of great social and cultural change; a time when women were fighting for their rights and the language of art was completely re-written. Mary Cassatt and her modern women were at the heart of it all. \nDespite being a prolific painter of women\, Cassatt detested being described as a ‘woman painter’.\nCassatt was born in America and became one of America’s most well-known artists.
