Last time I went to Riverside to hear Constantin Shamray. The concert was memorable. I'm now 73 years ago. I couldn't go to the Seymour. But I'll certainly go to Riverside again to hear the winner. It's closer to home and less expensive for a senior with little money, thanks to children in Christchurch: 9000 aftershocks so far. Bless all of you responsible for this gorgeous music, especially Prof Warren T and all of the ABC Classic FM presenters. I've heard a lot, but not enough, in my small apartment in a retirement village in Castle Hill.
