This program went to air on Melbourne’s Midsumma Carnival day. Unsurprisingly, the music in this edition of Queen of the Night reflects midsummer, carnivals, and fairs!
Also, 19 January is the anniversary of the premiere of the Saint-Saens cello concerto no.1 (1872),
and the birthday of Italian baroque composer and castrato Giuseppe Millico (born 1737).
