Sweet Noise: Making Music at Vaucluse House
Dr Matthew Stephens, Research Librarian with the Caroline Simpson Library & Research Collection at Sydney Living Museums, has written and co-produced, with Mason Dean, a wonderful video outlining the challenges involved in interpreting musical history in heritage houses.
Vaucluse House, bought by William Charles Wentworth in 1827, is home to a restored Collard and Collard grand piano, upon which you can hear James Doig play two Australian publications, one of which was dedicated to Wentworth.
