Sidney Myer Free Concerts 2016

Summer Carnival

Saturday 20 February

Joshua Weilerstein conductor
Dale Barltrop violin

Dvořák Carnival
Barber Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5

In his second Sidney Myer Free Concert, Joshua Weilerstein conducts more Dvořák and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.5. These flank the Violin Concerto by Samuel Barber, with soloist, MSO Concertmaster Dale Barltrop. Barber’s lyrical and (dare we say?) romantic concerto is embedded in the modern repertoire, but was not always thus. In 1940, as Barber was struggling with the score, renowned violin teacher Albert Meiff called it ‘far from the requirements of a modern violinist’ and that the score ‘required surgical operation by a specialist’, offering to wield the scalpel himself. Fortunately, Barber ignored this gratuitous offer.

The Tang of the Tango

Saturday 27 February

Benjamin Northey conductor
Slava Grigoryan guitar
Leonard Grigoryan guitar

Falla The Three-Cornered Hat: Suite No.2
Rodrigo Concierto madrigal
Gershwin Cuban Overture
Piazzolla Selected tangos
Ginastera Estancia: Four Dances

The brothers Grigoryan — Slava and Leonard — join Benjamin Northey and the MSO in a Spanish-South American program that includes tangos by Astor Piazzolla, a Concerto for two guitars by Joaquin Rodrigo, and works by Ginastera, Falla and Gershwin. The perfect summery way to conclude the Sidney Myer Free Concerts for 2016.

Brivis Heater - Error Code #69

My Brivis HX23 Heater broke down this week. H01 Code #69. This code was not even listed in the User Manual! Searching around the web and here is what I found: Secret Reset: This is not in the User Manual. On the networker controller press FUNCTION > 1 > 4 keys and the screen will go blank and come back on after 30 seconds, this has rebooted the main PCB and reset the fault code. Use this with caution as too much gas build up could cause an explosion. Use it only after the unit has enough time to air out the gas build up. What is Code #69 or any other unpublished codes? The best way to find out is to open up the heater unit. There is a little LCD on the PCB showing what error exactly is. (Note: Opening up the unit may void your warranty.)

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan. I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018. It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while. Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone. Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article, https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html . Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router! Hope it helps.
