Fred BanksSome lucky people manage to lead double lives. Fred Blanks AM, now aged 83, has done just that. On the one hand, he is a scientist with an Honours degree from the University of Sydney, specialising in organic chemistry research and management. On the other, he is a major music critic and adult education lecturer - a profession that began as a hobby. But to lead this double life as an immigrant in Australia, he first had to learn English. This talk explores his several lives.

Fred Blanks' musical talks have been a Festival institution since 1998. Audiences love these entertaining and enlightening sessions.
