The Javanese pianist/composer Ananda Sukarlan made his first visit to Brisbane in November where he performed in recital at the Concert Hall of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music Griffith University on the 23rd November, 2007. He programmed works by Australian and Spanish composers which included my Merindu Bali...Bali Yearning. I wrote this piece for Ananda in 2003. It has been performed in New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Scotland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Indonesia in his In Memoriam concerts (programs of piano works written in memory of the victims of the Bali bombing, by composers from around the world). The series of In Memoriam recitals was, in Ananda's words "a musical monument to Bali, the culture and the people, and to all victims of violence and terrorism".
Merindu Bali...Bali Yearning is published by Wirripang, Publishers of Fine Australian Music, http://www.australiancomposers.com.au/ and has been recorded by Sally Mays and programmed on JAD CD 1108 Winter Solstice.
