Story: Classical musicians

Stephen de Pledge

Pianist Stephen de Pledge plays a whimsical piece written for him by Wellington composer Jack Body, 'The street where I live'. A recording of the composer speaking can be heard in the background, and he is shown in the audience, listening with delight. De Pledge returned to New Zealand in 2010 after a successful career in Europe.
