Meeting Miriam

Using preserved letters and manuscripts in the archives of the National Library Special Collections, I will tell the remarkable story of Miriam Hyde who sailed halfway across the globe from Australia’s oldest music institution in South Australia, on a major Scholarship to Royal College of Music. My aim is to restore Miriam Hyde in public sight from the elderly lady who wrote much loved ‘easy’ exam piano music in Sydney, to the synesthetic virtuoso visionary student from Adelaide who took London by storm… Join me in person or online at National Library in Canberra on July 24 (free)
