'I have always felt at home in Australia, and I have felt a tremendously inspiring connection with many Australian musicians. It has been a particular pleasure planning these programs for the 2024 edition of UKARIA 24. I will be joined by close musical friends, performing music that we find particularly touching and meaningful in these circumstances that are so exceptionally uplifting. I am very much looking forward to seeing you all here, our dear audience – sharing this experience with us!'
