About 5 years ago I attended a "player piano" concert of works by Percy Grainger at Melba Hall at the University of Melbourne. The concert was organised by the Grainger Museum and the Conservatorium, and presented by Dennis Condon and Harold Ball using their locally-built Duo-Art Vorsetzer and the Conservatorium's piano. The hall was nearly full, and the concert was a great success.
One of Harold's Ampicos has also made a number of guest appearances in programs at the Victorian Arts Centre in recent years. Contact me directly if you would like more info.
