THE CONVICT HARPSICHORDIST
ELIZABETH ANDERSON (harpsichord)

It is not Elizabeth Anderson, our favourite harpsichordist, who is the convict, but John Grant, who committed murder in London and, escaping the death penalty, was exiled to Australia. He arrived in 1804, bring with him the colony's first harpsichord. The rest, as they say, is history...

The CD includes an 18 minute CDROM video of John Grant's story, and a specially commissioned work by Ron Nagorcka, symbolising the reconciliation of two cultures.
