Get to Know Mozart – Part 1
We begin a five-part series featuring a very small selection of the
music of Mozart. Beginning with an overview program, the series will
include a gentle introduction to an opera, some of Mozart’s church
music, and excerpts from the concerto repertoire, including a Horn Concerto
and a Piano Concerto. Today, some brief background to Mozart and his
times, and an overview of his music.

Get to Know Mozart- Part 2
For those of us fortunate enough to have visited the Austrian city of
Salzburg, and stand in the Cathedral where Mozart worked for some years,
Mozart’s church music is indeed very special.

health worker at the Central Northern Adelaide Health Service at Davoren
Park.

Get to Know Mozart – Part 3
Meet a great guy with a great voice, Teddy Tahu Rhodes. Not heard of
him? Well he is a young man (actually from New Zealand) who is making
his mark in Australia and internationally as a bass-baritone singer.
And through him, we hear some of the music from Mozart’s opera
The Magic Flute.
Friday 22 July
Old people have rights too!
The rights of children are much in the news these days, often through
sad reminders of the abuse that many children have suffered. But people
of all ages have rights, and today we look at the rights of people over
65, through the work of the Aged Rights Advocacy Service (ARAS). The
Take Time guest this morning is Marilyn Crabtree, Manager of ARAS in
SA.

Get to Know Mozart – Part 4

I want to read to my kids!
Not all adults can read and/or write. There is now a greater awareness
in the community of those who do not have literacy skills, and Adult
Community Education centres and other agencies around South Australia
offer assistance for those adults who want to develop these skills,
including those who want to share the enjoyment of reading with their
children. Our studio guest this morning is Ann Brown, Manager Community
Services, at the Northern Area Community and Youth Services at Davoren
Park.
Get to Know Mozart – Part 5
Over the past four weeks, we have sampled just a little of Mozart’s
music – an impossible task, but we trust that it has served as
an introduction to some wonderful classical music. Today, we hear some
of Mozart’s Horn Concerto No 4 in E flat major (K 495), with Barry
Tuckwell (horn). Please note, for copyright reasons, audiofiles of this
short series on Mozart cannot be placed online. However, some details
of the music used will be included online later in July.
