Impro cellist roams the world: 11.6.2009
Music itself might be an international language.. but creating that music with students across cultures is something our next guest gets a kick out of.
Matthew Barley is a freelancing cellist from Britain, who organises music projects in several countries each year.
He collaborates with children to write a new piece of music - most recently, in the United Arab Emirates.
He's visiting Australia this week at the invitation of the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne.
Matthew Barley is our guest on Audition this week... and is speaking with Caroline Davey.

Are those genes gay?: 16.3.2009
Is there such a thing as a gay gene?
Geneticists at the University of California are among those investigating this quite controversial question.
There are gay activists who would love to prove that homosexuality is genetic saying it would create an environment for greater acceptance.
Then there those who argue that such knowledge in the wrong hands could lead to attempts to rid the world of gays and lesbians.
Rohan Spong is a documentary filmmaker who's just back from the United States where he produced two films looking at the biological basis of homosexuality and transgenderism.
One is a short documentary called Queer Science while the other is a feature length film titled, T is for Teacher.
Both films are showing during this year's Melbourne Queer Film Festival.
Rohan Spong has been telling Greg Dyett how he came to make the films.
