0030 -
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with
Roger Broadbent. This week: If you were asked to picture a kangaroo
you’d probably conjure up an image of one standing tall, resting on
its massive tail and then suddenly lunging forward as it hops away
into the middle distance. So it’ll probably come as a surprise to
hear that in Australia, and indeed in New Guinea, there are Kangaroos
that can actually climb trees. They don’t look a whole lot like your
everyday kangaroo and they’re a great deal smaller. Sadly they’re
under threat as is so much of our wildlife these days. On the
Australian Express we find out what’s being done to ensure a future
for these mini kangaroos. You’re invited to meet the ‘Ten Tenors’,
former students from Queensland’s Conservatorium of Music. They made
their international debut in 2002 in Germany in front of a television
audience of 20 million people and have since sold-out performances in
Asia, Europe and North America. They've appeared alongside Rod
Stewart, Andre Boccelli, Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson, Sophie
Ellis-Baxter and Hot Chocolate. Sadly however not many people in
Australia know who they are so all ten of the tenors have returned to
show audiences at home what they do. Recently the entire group
squeezed into an ABC studio in Sydney for a very special performance.
And as we’ll hear, the ‘Ten Tenors’ may have started as a bit of fun,
these days the ten lads are pretty serious about what they do.

Screening, Benefits and Harms". Part 2 of 3.
Part two of this series looks at what might be done to minimise the
impact of the downside of screening. The series is produced and
presented by Dr Alex Barratt, Associate Professor of Epidemiology at
the University of Sydney. [T;%]
0405 -
BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special
series from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music And
Fashion--#4 - Fame". Bach was the most famous organist of his day,
Liszt was the most famous pianist of his, and Mahler's fame rested on
his prodigious gifts as a conductor. Now we think of all three of
them as composers: great ones, too. But we're lucky to know their
music at all. The reputations of composers in their lifetimes are
subject to the whims of public taste, and that isn't always focused
on music. In pop, from Jimi Hendrix to Eva Cassidy, death can enhance
a career. But sometimes famous musicians take their music with them
to the grave. Nearly a century after Bach's death, it needed
Mendelssohn to revive interest in his music. [T;%]
0510 -
PACIFIC BEAT* - focuses in on the island nations which
depend on
the Pacific Ocean for their existence drawing on Australian reporters
and correspondents based throughout the region. [T;%]
