FRESH GROUND
Performed by Anthony Garcia (guitar)

Anthony Garcia's web page
Fresh Ground, featuring the sonic world of guitarist Anthony Garcia, is a unique recital project that explores a number of interlocking performance approaches. Compositions will merge from traditional set works, improvised cadenzas, preludes and interludes toward more contemporary processed soundscapes and looped textural improvisations. His work preserves the ancient art of story-telling through sound-reflecting experiences the artist has garnered through his travels in Mexico, the US, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. 7.30pm Frid

Karin Schaupp
Karin's web page

Pavel Steidl's web page
Two of the world's finest guitarists perform together for the first time in these memorable concerts. Australian Karin Schaupp and Czech Pavel Steidl, both equally acclaimed for their technical brilliance, bring their renowned onstage warmth and emotional expressiveness to a program of the utmost intimacy and beauty.
Inspired by great guitar duos of the past (often husband and wife teams), the music traverses a history of the guitar itself: from the delicacy of the tiny 'Terz' guitar, through the elegant 19th-century model beloved of Paganini, and on to the modern instrument found in so many homes today. Throughout the concert, Karin and Pavel share the stories and context of the music to create an entertaining, engaging and unforgettable experience.
