Southern Highlands Writers Festival: Andrew Ford in Conversation

Andrew Ford OAM is a composer, writer, and presenter of The Music Show on ABC Radio National. Andrew has written eleven books and his most recent, The Shortest History of Music, is an authoritative tour through several thousand years of music that sets out to understand what exactly music is – and why humans are irresistibly drawn to making it.

Andrew’s music has been performed and recorded around the world, played by ensembles such as the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Brodsky Quartet and the New Juilliard Ensemble, and sung by the likes of Yvonne Kenny, Katie Noonan and Iva Bittová.
