Matthew van Emmerik has timed the release of his CD with the Australian Nationals.

On Speaking with 4BR Downunder Matt said, ‘Its great to have the final product ready for our biggest competition of the year, many of the solos on the CD have been performed in our national and state competitions and this is the first time they have been recorded. These solos are a huge part of our history and have also helped to shape repertoire by our pre-eminent Australasian composers.’
