About the author:

 

Paul Blackman has been a professional musician for most of his working life, having been a member of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and finally the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO). After thirty five years of orchestral playing, he became the Human Resources Manager with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. He retired in 2014 and decided to write the a book about the life of Christian Reimers. His interest in history started when at high school. In the last fifteen years or so, he created the ASO heritage website (http://aso84.wixsite.com/asoheritage), about the history of the orchestra and the musical activity that preceded its creation. His second book, entitled "An insider's history of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra" is currently at the publisher, Wakefield Press, in preparation for release later in 2022
