Jon Rose, an Alice Springs based composer, musician and builder of unusual instruments, continues to produce music for the curious! He invites us to Corrugations 5, the next in a series of garden concerts of original compositions by Hollis Taylor and himself, played by some of Mparntwe’s top string players. Hosted in Jon's garden, he tells us also of the Museum of musical instruments that he has created in his home, to which punters are welcome to view after the concert. Tune in to hear some of Jon's stories and compositions, including a teaser of a very intriguing instrument to feature in the show - a fence!

Alongside the Musical Fence, we hear some unique rhythms, instruments, and improvisations, some with East European influence, and some inspired by our local songbird, the Butcher Bird.
