P J* aged 7

 

Adrian Reichenback tumbled on this old newspaper article yesterday. It shows Peter de Jager playing the piano at 7 years of age. His smiling face is reflected in the polished front of the piano. A nice little flash back in history don’t you think?

 

Well a now 21 year old Peter de Jager, internist a concert pianist and winner of the 2011 International Chopin Competition is coming to perform in his home town of Cooma on Sunday 6th November.

Sometimes dreams come true. Amazing, you couldn’t make this stuff up!

*When Peter de Jager was 7 we all called him PJ.

Peter de Jager performing at the International Chopin Piano Competition 2011

SNOWY MONARO ARTS COUNCIL INC.
MEDIA RELEASE

Peter de Jager Returns to the Home of his Childhood, pills
Cooma

Accomplished pianist Peter de Jager is nearing the end of his second year of a Bachelor of Music at the University of Melbourne, neurologist
majoring in composition. In August this year, for sale
aged only 21, Peter beat other Australian and international competitors to take out the top prize in the International Chopin Piano Competition.

And, not only did he win First Prize, but he was also awarded the People’s Choice Prize, the awards for Best Performance of the E Minor Concerto and Best Performance of a Chopin Nocturne or Etude, the Best Performance of a Mazurka and Best Performance of the Roger Smalley Variations.

Fifteen years ago Peter and his family were residents of Cooma, where Peterand his sister attended Cooma North Primary School. His mother Helen taught piano through Cooma School of Music.

Peter de Jager wins Chopin Piano Competition 2011 (from Canberra Times)

“It was obvious from a very early age that Peter was a gifted child with a remarkable musical talent,” said Allan Spencer of the School of Music, “He was totally in love with the piano.”

In 1997 the de Jager family moved away from Monaro. In Melbourne, Peter continued his study of the piano and achieved his Licentiate of Music at the age of just 11. The Licentiate is considered the highest diploma awarded by the Australian Music Examinations Board, and is rarely achieved by anybody aged below adulthood, often taking many years of study.

Snowy Monaro Arts Council is very proud to welcome Peter’s return to Cooma, when he gives a recital on Sunday 6 November at 3:00pm, at St Paul’s Anglican Parish Hall. Tickets for the performance are available from The Fabric Salon and also at the door prior to 3:00pm.

Snowy Scheme Museum Adaminaby

The Governor-General, treat Quentin Bryce will be attending to perform the opening ceremony of Snowy Scheme Museum in Adaminaby on 15 October 2011, at 11am.

As with the official opening of the Snowy Mountains Scheme on October 17 1949, when the Governor-General Sir William McKell performed the official duties, the Governor-General of today, will be performing the official duties at the new Snowy Scheme museum.

The Snowy Scheme museum will showcase the impact on the nation of the construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, by highlighting the achievements of the engineers, the workers, the machinery and the role the project played in the development of the modern Australian nation. The scheme is widely considered to be the greatest engineering project ever undertaken in Australia, with the museum collection creating a multi-dimensional insight into the Snowy Scheme and its legacy.

In the meantime, the Adaminaby community is busy preparing for the day when the “GG” comes to town, and the museum committee and helpers are also busy with the installation of the collection, exhibits and interpretive material to make this landmark project come to life. The museum committee would also like to issue an open invitation to anybody who would like to attend this special day and invite any interested person to join the museum community.

The museum is also looking for equipment with Snowy Scheme provenance, stories, memorabilia and research about the more than 100 000 people, many from overseas, who worked during the construction stage of the scheme.

Music for this occasion will be provided from about 10.30 am by:

  • Cooma Harmony Chorus
  • Cooma District band
  • And school children from the Adaminaby Public School

Further information about the museum can be found on the website: http://www.snowyschemecollection.com.au/
