Based on Mem Fox’s classic picture book, the stage production of Possum
Magic has been stylishly embellished into a rollicking
Australian musical – complete with lamingtons, pavlovas and vegemite
sandwiches! Since the world premiere season in 1990, it has become the most
successful Australian musical for children ever produced for the stage. Possum
Magic features larger than life-size puppets, original music and a cast of
multi-talented performers.

2008 Sydney International Piano Competition
Winner’s Recital
Lovers of fine music won’t want to miss this rare opportunity to see
and hear a rising star of the piano.
The Sydney International Piano Competition of Australia is one of the world’s
most prestigious competitions for up-and-coming young pianists aged between
17 and 30 years. First presented in 1977 and run generally every four years,
the competition now attracts more applications than any other piano competition
in the world.
Former participants and winners rank among the world’s most accomplished
and sought after pianists both individually and as soloists with orchestras
throughout the world. Thirty Six are selected of from live auditions, and the
1st Prize Winner is announced on August 2. As well as the cash prize there
are concerts throughout Australia and also in USA, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany,
Korea, Singapore and the UK.
“ The Sydney International Piano Competition has jettisoned the career
of many classical pianists including Alexander Korsantiya (1988 First Prize Winner)
and Piers Lane.”
