So, how’s our money spent? Who would know

"The Rattenbury-Barr government operates with a lack of transparency and is comfortable with the use of disingenuous spin and obscurity to hide the reality of how it spends money.," writes "Canberra Matters" columnist PAUL COSTIGAN.

Rescheduled from its original performance date of November 3, this was, as expected, another excellent concert from the @australianstringquartet, writes reviewer SARAH BYRNE.

Current incumbents Dale Barltrop (first violin), Francesca Hiew (second violin), and Chris Cartlidge (viola) were joined by guest cellist, the outstanding Charlotte Miles, a serene and unflappable locum for the exuberant Michael Dahlenburg.

The ASQ is the beneficiary of an extraordinary collection of 19th century instruments by Guadagnini, and I was particularly struck by their utterly glorious tone, the first violin (“Turin”) especially sounding with uncommon sweetness.

“The sushi train at Taiwa Sushi slowly moves dish after dish after dish along a super-long conveyor belt that winds through the restaurant, directly in front of most seats,” writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

New on Kingston Foreshore is a Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu featuring classic sashimi, sushi, small rolls, larger hand rolls, dumplings and other hot dishes, salads and Udon noodle soups.

"A key element of rebuilding trust in government authority is to take the evidence, and communications on that evidence, out of the hands of politicians." MICHAEL MOORE reflects on how trust was a casualty in the fight against covid.

There is something about a performance by top-class musicians who’ve played together for decades, says reviewer MICHAEL WILSON.

There’s no fuss: no apprehension about what other players might do in the moment. So it was for the final concert of the Selby & Friends season, when Kathryn Selby (piano) was joined by Julian Smiles (cello) and Dimity Hall (violin) for a varied and challenging program of piano trios connecting Germany, France, Spain and Latvia.

In this intimate venue, each musician introduced pieces in their personal styles. Like any good host, Selby made sure her guests shone throughout, even at times where the piano line dominated. Fresh from their farewell tour as one half of the Goldner String Quartet, Hall and Smiles blended seamlessly when that was required, and emphasised discordance when called for, especially in the program’s title work by Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks.
