Romano Crevici has been playing violins made by Harry Vatiliotis for decades. Now drawing to the end of their respective careers, Harry has made one final instrument, which will be Romano's last violin too. The process, challenged by sore joints, thin skin, and Harry's caring responsibilities to the love of his life Maria, have been captured in a moving film called The Last Violin by Carla Thackrah. Romano and Carla are in the studio with the titular violin. Andrew Robertson's The Journeyman Suite is music about making music—documenting the realities and career arc of a jobbing musician. Big band music presents big possibilities for colour and texture and the composer tells Andrew Ford about writing for this intergenerational band, and why he added a string quartet. The Last Violin is being screened on SBS on Sunday 15 September and will be available on SBS On Demand after that. You can contact Romano Crivici here if you own an instrument made by Harry Vatiliotis.  AR Big Band's The Journeyman Suite is out now on ABC Jazz.  Romano Crivici and Carla Thackrah with the last violin.
