The Full Works Concert - Wednesday 17 September, 8pm

Percy Grainger is among the musical talents from Australia featured in tonight's Antipodean Full Works Concert.

The proclamation declaring the establishment of the commonwealth of Australia was made by Queen Victoria on this day in 1900, so tonight Jane Jones celebrates Australian musicians. 

Percy Grainger was one of the most original of musical talents to come out of Australia. He is represented tonight by his Australian up-country song.
