5 March 2021 A small but striking sculpture on display in the Special Collections Reading Room symbolically invites you to discover the National Library’s extensive Music Collection. This year’s Friends Creative Arts Fellow David Wickham will explore and share with us the works of composer Frederick Septimus Kelly but there is much more to be found. The sculpture Open Book shows a conductor, arms outstretched with a baton in his hand. Gifted to the Library in memory of English-born Australian composer Peter Tahourdin (1928-2009), the work is by Dutch artist Wiea Duintjer (b. 1951). Wiea Duintjer 1951- and Peter Tahourdin 1928-2009, Open Book sculpture 2013, nla.cat-vn6454969.
