Maestro Tommy Tycho
23/10/2008
Over half a century Maestro Tommy Tycho has built a reputation as one of Australia's most respected musical directors. He has worked with showbiz greats such as Sammy Davis Jr and Shirley Bassey, performed for royalty, composed scores for films and television, and conducted some of the finest philharmonic orchestras in the country.
He traces the path of his musical success from its origins in Budapest before the Second World War, where he crouched under his parents' piano listening to the gathered artists talk and perform; to working as a storeman in post-war Australia.
