Miriam Hyde’s Centenary

Strathfield Symphony Orchestra will be celebrating Miriam Hyde’s centenary year with performances of her much loved Second Piano Concerto on 23 and 24 March. Miriam played the concerto with this orchestra until she was in her 90s and our association with her goes back to 1969 when the orchestra was formed.

Our collection of correspondance from Miriam, including handwritten notes on some of her compositions have been donated to the National Library of Australia (holding number MS Acc13.143). Copies can also be accessed here:
