From Farmer to Fiddler
Donald Hazelwood?s first public performance as a violinist at the age of 4 was abandoned in tears, but he persisted. Then, aged 8, it seemed that his prodigious talent would be lost when he returned to his father?s remote sheep and wheat farm. With no available teacher, he practised alone in the machine shed. His father?s premature death left him with the responsibility of harvesting 400 acres in his final year at school. He overcame all handicaps to reach the peak of his profession. As the Concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for 33 years, Donald Hazelwood, AO OBE, became one of Australia?s most well-known and respected musicians.His story gives a vivid picture of rural life in Australia in the early decades of the last century; relates his encounters with many conductors from Goossens to de Waart, even Danny Kaye, and describes the creation of the Sydney Opera House. He gives insight into the experience of performing and relates his adventures on many overseas tours, including pioneering chamber concerts from Burma to Hanoi.
