It is encouraging that the Australian government has announced a National Cultural Policy. Recognition of the value of the arts and arts education at this level is most valuable. Let’s hope that it has a lasting benefit. Here are some responses via ArtsHub: http://au.artshub.com/au/news-article/news/arts/arts-community-reacts-to-national-cultural-policy-194589

Comment on How is a baroque violin different from a modern violin? by margare1

Yes most players of baroque violin use an early bow, and players of baroque repertoire on modern violin are increasingly using baroque bows to achieve greater articulation. As far as modern repertoire goes, several groups have commissioned new compositions for historical instruments.

It was a treat to be part of such an intimate music festival, away from everyday distractions and immersed in the music of JS Bach.
