The proceeds from these concerts will assist in the reconstruction of the lives of the people of East Timor (all performers and other concert workers have donated their services in order to maximise the money raised).

Charisma's new CD will be available on the night $5 per disc to East Timor.

In 2002 Ros Dunlop and Martin Wesley-Smith visited East Timor twice, giving concerts in Dili, Ermera, Hato Bulliko, Laga, Los Palos and Same. In November 2002 they, together with Ryder, will be presenting concerts in Leichhardt, Mittagong and Kangaroo Valley that focus on East Timor, the repertoire to include Wesley-Smith's multimedia pieces X (about Xanana Gusmão), for clarinet & CD-ROM (1999), Welcome to the Hotel Turismo, for cello & CD-ROM (2000), and a brand-new piece about Afghanistan and Afghan refugees called Merry-Go-Round, for clarinet, cello & CD-ROM (2002).

Charisma's concert programme includes

East Timor multimedia:   X

Commissioned by American clarinettist F. Gerard Errante, this piece has been performed, by him and by Ros, many times in the USA. It was composed in 1999 as the Indonesian military-promoted militia carnage was raging across East Timor. At the time, resistance leader Xanana Gusmão (the "X" of the title) was in Cipinang Prison, Jakarta.

An audio-only version of this piece will be included on Ros Dunlop's new CD X, available in December....orders can be made at the Concert.  Proceeds from this CD will be going to the Intellectually Disabled in East Timor and NSW.

 
Morton Gould wrote this for the occasion of his close friend Benny Goodman's 1962 Russian Tour in celebration of his 70th birthday: "What does one do for a special long-time friend and super-colleague on a special birthday? Had you turned 70 before inflation a special gift worthy of this event would have been the answer. But under the circumstances, and as the last of the small spenders, I thought and thought - and finally decided to write you a piece - on 2 staves, no less! To quote you, "It Aint Sweet
Georgia Brown" - but it does signify my affection and friendship and  admiration for you.
