Music from down under

Australia is the land of kangaroos and didgeridoos. And cute, cuddly koalas (pictured). If you go there, expect to find great music as well. In hour one of today's show, we'll focus on music and musicians from down under, including the Melbourne Symphony, the Australia Ensemble, and Saffire: the Australian Guitar Quartet.
