Songs My Mother Taught Me

Featuring Tim Munro, flute
Emily Granger, harp

First musical experiences take place at home. These half-remembered melodies carry comfort and joy. Grammy-winning flautist Tim Munro and Queensland Symphony Orchestra harpist Emily Granger love to work together. Their duo program captures the beauty and nostalgia of these tunes, tracing the border between classical and older popular tunes. Music by Bach, Dvorak and Kats-Chernin meets the aching tunes of Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles.
