Meeting of musical minds

PictureMichelle Nelson and Tania Ravbar
BASS Coast classical guitarists Michelle Nelson and Tania Ravbar are making up for lost Covid time with a recital at Cowes on Sunday.
 
The two accomplished musicians met by chance after moving to Bass Coast, Michelle to Wonthaggi and Tania to Grantville.
 
Both performers have many years of experience and achievements, including guitar competition and composition awards, regular airplay on ABC Classics and the MBS network, and many performances in groups and chamber concerts.

They were also both taught at tertiary level by the renowned Jochen Schubert, a German concert-guitarist brought out to Australia in the early 1970s to create a world-class guitar program at VCA in Melbourne.
 
Despite this strong artistic connection, they had never met until they were introduced at a barbecue, in December 2019. They quickly formed a duo and planned to perform in 2020 but … well, you know what happened next.
 
They will perform at 2pm on Sunday, May 21, in the St John’s Uniting Church, Chapel Street, Cowes, where both have previously appeared.
 
Their repertoire spans from 19th Century classics by Carulli and Beethoven to modern works including Ponce, Pujol, Machado and some of Michelle’s own compositions and arrangements.
