Composition selected for the Sydney International Piano Competition 2023

My latest composition The Reckoning- after the tale of The Red Shoes (2022), has been selected for the Preliminary Round Recital in the Sydney International Piano Competition 2023 as a new Australian work. Performers are at liberty to choose any two of the three movements to suit the time requirements of the competition. The music is available through Wirripang Publications - where a full midi rendition can also be heard.

The mix of dark and dangerous elements with fantasy and beauty is what has made fairy-tales and myths so compelling and enduring as universal teaching tales all over the world. The old tale of The Red Shoes has been told in various versions, in many lands.The Reckoning is a psychic narrative inspired by the tale which may pique our curiosity about human nature and behaviour.
