    On September 30Th 2014, Sam Fischer Popped a Message on Twitter

    On September 30th 2014, Sam Fischer popped a message on Twitter. “Just booked a one way ticket to LA,” he tweeted. “Phwoar.” LA, it turned out, was less aroused. Things got pretty bleak, pretty quickly, and it wasn’t long before Sam had trouble making ends meet. But a mere five years, a couple of false starts and millions of streams later Sam has found his place, his voice, and his audience, both through his own naturally charismatic songs and those he’s written for artists like Ciara, Keith Urban and more. “I try to write uncomplicated, honest truths about myself,” he says of his own work. “Honesty and vulnerability should be celebrated, and if the last five years have taught me anything it’s that you should never be afraid to be your honest self.” Sam spent the earliest part of his life in Australia, on a small farm in the picturesque town of Grose Vale, just outside Kurrajong, just outside Sydney. “I used to come home from school,” Sam reports, “get my kit off and run around the farm naked.” School itself was an hour’s drive away meaning Sam spent plenty of time with his parents’ collection of three compact discs: Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard soundtrack, Michael Jackson’s HIStory, and a random rock compilation album. “That’s it right there on three pieces of plastic,” Sam laughs. “My entire musical education.” He joined the school choir (alongside a pre-fame Delta Goodrem — a fact Sam only recently discovered during a songwriting session with Goodrem two decades later) but the family relocated to Sydney when Sam was seven.

    Beethoven: Symphony No 9 “Choral” – Australian World Orchestra Posted on April 16, 2014 by Barry Walmsley

    Beethoven: Symphony No 9 “Choral” – Australian World Orchestra Posted on April 16, 2014 by Barry Walmsley Australian World Orchestra Sydney Philharmonia Choir Conductor: Alexander Briger ABC 481 0550 The scale of a work such as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is truly staggering. Whilst the work has been overused for civic celebratory events, the concert experience (and this recording, which originates from a live concert in the Sydney Opera House) is something that can touch listeners in profound ways. The complexity of the music is only equalled by its challenging compositional ideas, along with the treatment of text (by Schiller), and the fusion of what, for the most part, are incompatibles, that is, the choral and the symphonic idiom. Structurally, the work is really a set of variations, showing a total connection from beginning to end. These totally new elements (the unconventional symphonic layout and the use of words within a symphony) helped to underline, in the public’s mind, that Beethoven had truly gone mad. This particular recording emanated from one of the most exciting of recent concert events, the inaugural season by the newly created Australian World Orchestra, an initiative to bring together the finest of Australian orchestral musicians from around the country and across the world. Thus, it saw players return from such illustrious orchestras as the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, Chicago and London Symphonies, the Concertgebouw and Gewandhaus, to be part of this concept orchestra. Bringing the whole project together, as its artistic and musical director, was conductor Alexander Briger, who has established himself on the world stage as one of the new dynamic conductors of this era.

    Speech by Ian Darling to Graduating Students, Australian School of Business, University of NSW, April 14, 2008. Chancellor Dean

    Speech by Ian Darling to graduating students, Australian School of Business, University of NSW, April 14, 2008. Chancellor_ Dean_ Graduates_ Ladies and Gentlemen It is a great honour to share this happy occasion with you. I congratulate and commend the graduates for the perseverance and hard work that has earned you the success that we are marking today. No doubt many of you have already embarked on your careers, and your time at the Australian School of Business may seem but a distant memory – but the great thing about a good education is that it will stay with you forever. You will be able to apply the tool kits that you have gained from this outstanding institution right throughout your business career. I wish you great success in those careers and hope that every one of you will make a significant contribution to this country in your particular fields of endeavour. I too graduated in business – firstly with a BA in accounting, and after four years of investment banking I followed this up with an MBA. In life you only need to make a few really good decisions in order to have a fulfilling and rewarding career – and I must say my decision to study business, both at an undergraduate and then post graduate level were undoubtedly two of the best decisions I ever made. Business degrees open many doors, and you can apply your skills across so many different spheres, whether it be in the corporate world, or indeed all areas of government, the Arts, as well as the not for profit or philanthropic world.
