Fritz Bennicke Hart (1874-1949) stands as one of the more astonishing and productive figures of Australian music history. This long-overdue biographical study explores and assesses the substantial and lasting contributions he made to musical life here (including many years teaching music and running a Conservatorium at the VAS), as well as in England and Hawaii.

The book launch will also include a short recital of some of his music for voice and piano, violin and piano, and female choir and piano. Light refreshments will be served.

Admission is free, but please RSVP by booking at https://events.humanitix.com/lecture-recital-and-book-launch-fritz-hart
