To date she has recorded seven CDs, three that went on to become ABC CD of the Week, one wholly her own piano and ensemble compositions and two DVDs.<\/p><p>Her solo and ensemble work has taken her to the leading hotels in Melbourne. She was invited to perform at the famed Mietta&#8217;s Month of Divas where she recorded The Gershwin Affair, a CD that went on to become one of her best sellers, with multiple pressings. This was recorded live, which makes it very special to Maggie. Her son, Michael, a highly accomplished musician based in Canada, wrote all the arrangements and played piano and double bass for the CD.\u00a0<\/p><p>Along this journey Maggie has realised the power of one, and worked tirelessly to push her music and also provide encouragement for up and coming young musicians who are passionate about their work, always including them to give them a leg up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13e26cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"13e26cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c8ba34b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c8ba34b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-835b254\" data-id=\"835b254\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maggie Jackson Playing 6.10pm Sunday 7th June at Castlemaine Bowling Club Maggie has spent many years playing all over Australia, with her brothers and sisters, recording, doing television performances and many wonderful events such as playing in the Myer Music Bowl, The Arts Centre for The Irish Government and St. Patrick&#8217;s Day in the Fitzroy Gardens all became the fabric&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1047","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
