Military Vehicle is about hope and grew from the dream of hope. Hope for the forgotten people of Vietnam. The Vietnam War 1962-75 was very costly in the human toll it took on the Vietnamese people. After US withdrawal, millions of Vietnamese refugees attempted to flee by boat. Vinh Tran's sister was one of those refugees. Fast forward to the present, Vinh found a unique way to use the relics of war for a greater good. He would bring army jeeps to Australia to raise awareness and charity that helps war affected orphaned children in Vietnam, such as food, medical supplies and support.

Opening this concert with one of Australia's most iconic piano trios, by Ross Edwards, we are immediately conscious of the colours, light sounds, and the mystical relationship Edwards has with the sea and earth of this great land. One of Spain's great composers, Enrique Granados, follows with a highly expressive, Neo-Romantic and refined work that embodies the composer's Spanish roots with dance and salon music, hints of the gypsy and the Moor and its many folkloric elements. The beauty and power of Dvok's style exemplifies his fervent nationalist stance in the face of pressure from the prevalent German tradition bringing to a close this powerful program whose flavours are brought vividly to life by three old friends and veteran Australian artists, Dene Olding, Julian Smiles and Kathryn Selby.
