Mutts&Metaphors-poster-outlined” src=”http://coomamusic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/MurderMuttsMetaphors-poster-outlined-724×1024.jpg” alt=”” width=”434″ height=”614″ />Members of Cooma Little Theatre have been working diligently towards their next production.
Three One Act Plays will be staged from June 17 to 25.

“Woman Alive” by John Tully, and directed by Mark Salvestro, is a farce which centres around Roger Berry who is a crime novelist and his wife, Mary who proposes a new plot for a new novel. Roger arrogantly declines her suggestion, insisting that it won‟t work. Mary persuades him to give it a go by acting it out to see if it works. While this is being done, the couple‟s maid, Alice, mistakenly believes that Roger has actually murdered poor Mary and calls the
police. Much mayhem and comedy follows.
It is a fun and lively farce with many laughs throughout, suitable for all ages.

A Dogs Life” by Pam Valentine is a one act play set in a dog pound for unwanted animals. It is a comedy laced with pathos, looking at the present and past lives of four unwanted dogs in an animal shelter. It is directed by Damien Kenneally with the help of Midge Theron. The cast is comprised of Ben who is a battered old mongrel, a German Shepard dog called Fritz who is rough and tough, and then caged alongside is Fifi , an overweight French Poodle and young Ginger, an excitable and bouncy young pup. They all have a burning desire to be chosen to be taken to a new home when humans come to look them over…….Or do they?

“X” is the third play and was written by Genevieve Kenneally who grew up in Cooma. This play won first prize in the “Short + Sweet” playwriting competition last year.
“X” is the story of Geraldine. A girl who has made many mistakes in her life and wishes that “X” was there to warn her. “X” holds its/his literal meaning as well as many metaphorical ones – her ex-boyfriends and warning signs. The plot traces her past and relationship with and desire for “X” over the years. We are looking forward to seeing the work of a local girl featured on our local stage.

All in all, it promises to be a show full of variety and laughs – fun for all ages. So watch out for the posters around town to know when to get your tickets or check clt.org.au

Peter de Jager wins Australian International 2011 Chopin Piano Competition!

Peter de Jager - Concert Pianist & Composer

Peter de Jager was born in South Africa on December 1st, treatment 1989, his family relocating to Australia in 1992. Soon after, Peter lived in Cooma with his mother Helen, his father John, and his sister Ruth until he was 7 years old.

Helen de Jager taught piano with us at Cooma School of Music. Peter and Ruth were great mates with our children Leon and Hannah. They all went to Cooma North Primary School together.

It was obvious from a very early age that Peter was a gifted child with a remarkable musical talent. He was totally in love with the piano.

In 1997, the de Jager family moved from Cooma to pursue educational and career opportunities. After moving to Melbourne, Peter studied piano for five years with Nehama Patkin, then two years with Professor Stephen McIntyre, with whom he achieved his LMusA in 2003, at 11 years of age.

From 2007, Peter spent two years in the Australian National Academy of Music’s Advanced Performance Program, studying with Rita Reichman. These years brought him into contact with many international visiting artists, and exposed him to many performance opportunities.

In 2007 Peter participated in the Lev Vlassenko Piano competition, winning the inaugural Enid Lane Memorial Prize for best performance of a work by Mozart. He has twice been finalist in the Academy’s internal concerto competition, on the second occasion performing Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand with Orchestra Victoria.

Today, Peter is 21 and has already achieved so much in music. He is not only an outstanding pianist but he is also a dedicated composer, with a great interest in early music. Currently, he is undertaking a Bachelor of Music in harpsichord and composition, studying with Ann Morgan at the University of Melbourne.
