I would most certainly be interested in works by Australian composers. I have
two friends there now, Roz Dunlop and Elisabeth Kelvin and I've heard them both
perform some of the works that you may be talking about and all were quite
good. Please do this list thing or whatever else you can do to help make the
music more readily available to the rest of us.

Thanks in advance,
