Here is a recording that further demonstrates how in the hands of a skilful performer, the recorder is truly a fine and expressive instrument that finds a deserved niche in music of our own century as well as that from earlier times. – Emeritus Prof. David Tunley, University of Western Australia

Tamara Gries

Tamara Gries' musical career enjoyed an auspicious start and early recognition when she won the woodwind section of the Australian Broadcasting Commission's Young Performers Competition at the State level during the final year of her secondary schooling. This in turn led to an Alliance Française Scholarship and an Australia Council Bursary for advanced private study in France and England. During 1981 and 1982 she studied with Michel Sanvoisin and Manfred Stilz in Paris and Prof. Riener Schulein in London. On her return to Western Australia Tamara formed Musica Bella, an ensemble that toured South-East Asia under the auspices of the Australian Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade. Today she balances her performaces as a soloist with the demands of young family and a career in University administration.
