“In flying, you have to identify all the threats and avoid them. But in music, it’s the opposite. We have to get as close to destruction as possible.”

On the #AirFrance flight was the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia ... Daniel Harding was the #pilot and the new music director.

The AFAP's Melbourne and Brisbane offices will be closed for the public holidays on 25-26 Dec 2024 & 1 Jan 2025.
