Ensemble Liaison with Wilma Smith
2 Nov 2011 8:00 PM
"Going to an Ensemble Liaison concert is a bit like being invited to dinner with friends who love to cook. Clarinettist David Griffiths welcomes you with the warm, animated banter of a host who can‟t wait to serve the wicked, chocolaty dessert he has prepared. Except that the feast he‟s offering is music …" The Herald Sun (Melbourne)
