Organiser Olga Radke said the idea for the event originated when she en- countered two of her musician friends at a local restaurant. ‘‘I walked in and they said ‘come and join us’ but I said ‘no, I’m starving for culture, not food’. ‘‘We haven’t had any classical afternoons or played music together for a while. ‘‘There are people around who play but we haven’t promoted and it needs someone to take the initiat- ive to do it.’’ Mrs Radke hopes the event will encourage other local classical musicians to come forward, as well as people with a love of music who want to see an array of old instruments. ‘‘We have this little reed organ that people always ask how does it work?’’ she said. ‘‘But they were very pop- ular up to World War II until technology came in and electronic instruments replaced them. ‘‘They were phased out and are in museums now. There are probably a few around town but not many that work.’’ Although the Musical Afternoon is a one-off, Mrs Radke did not rule out mak- ing it an ongoing activity if it proves popular. ‘‘We thought we’d intro- duce Paul and his instru- ment which is unique,’’ she said. ‘‘Nicola and I used to play duets together 14 years ago but now everyone is doing their own thing so we thought let’s do it.’’ Originally coming to Cen- tral Australia to work at Hermannsburg alongside her pastor husband in 1965, Mrs Radke fell in love with the area. ‘‘My husband was a Lutheran pastor during an interim time when they couldn’t get anyone,’’ she said. ‘‘While we were there, we had a wonderful musical experience and took a choir of 23 people down to South Australia and Victoria, and the tradition of singing has continued.’’ After her husband passed away, Mrs Radke became involved in support work including 10 years of volun- teer work in the Barossa Valley. All proceeds raised from a Musical Afternoon will go towards palliative care and the support of people with terminal illnesses. ‘‘We can’t do without palli- ative care,’’ Mrs Radke said. ‘‘They are quiet achievers and we all will be in palli- ative care at some stage.’’ Mrs Radke decided to re- turn to Central Australia after her daughter asked if she had ever considered coming back. ‘‘I have family here and I haven’t regretted it because I can now be involved in (collecting) the history of Hermannsburg from 1888 and I don’t have to go away for holidays,’’ she said. ‘‘I just go back in time.’’ Mrs Radke said Central Australia’s senior commun- ity keep quite busy, which she loves. ‘‘I can’t keep up with those in their 90s,’’ she said. ‘‘It’s healthy. Very healthy.’’ A Musical Afternoon will run from 2pm on Sunday at the old Lutheran Church on the corner of Gap Rd and Strehlow St. Tommy’s back to sing a tune Monika O'Hanlon TWO-TIME Grammy nominee, and one of Austra- lia’s most internationally re- spected musicians, Tommy Emmanuel is kicking off his Live and Acoustic Tour in Alice Springs at the Araluen Arts Centre on November 1. With a professional career spanning over five decades, and relentless touring, Emmanuel has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide. The superstar is currently tour- ing overseas, and will be doing an Asian tour before coming to Alice Springs. Emmanuel, who has lived in and visited Alice Springs numerous times, said he was looking forward to coming back, as the last time he was in town was in 1994. ‘‘The first time I came to Alice Springs was about 1963, I was based there with my family and had a council house for a while,’’ Emmanuel said. ‘‘Years later I came back with some different artists, and was living in a caravan park. ‘‘We played out at all the missions and settlements, we did all of them out there.’’ The audience will be in for a treat with Emmanuel’s new show, which is a solo concert where he will play music which spans across his life. Be entranced by his unique style, playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a band for melody, rhythm, bass and drum parts, Emmanuel plays all these and more on one guitar. ‘‘Alice is one of the most unique towns in Australia, surrounded by the MacDon- nell Ranges, it’s just a beautiful place in Austra- lia,’’ Emmanuel said. ‘‘I’m hoping to catch up with some of my old friends that were there when I was living in town.’’ Tommy Emmanuel will be playing at the Araluen Arts Centre on Friday, Novem- ber 1, from 8.00pm. Tickets are $69.90 for an adult, and $49.90 for a child. Contact the Araluen Arts Centre Box Office on 8951 1122 to book your tickets. ALICE LIVE
