Phillipa Candy is a Canberra pianist whose recital work ranges across art song, operetta and Christmas programmes. Her Move recordings capture concert repertoire shaped for Australian audiences.
Long-standing live programmes feed the discs. Looking to the Light (MCD 365) mixes sacred favourites and Australian carols with lighter children’s Christmas songs.
