In this upcoming classics concert in the Austinmer chapel, guitar teacher Nigel Jones will also be sharing some original solo guitar music he composed in the first half of this year.
“2024 has been an incredibly creative time for me as a musician. Composing was something that had always been on my to do list. Recent life events and encouragement from family, friends and colleagues led me to start putting ideas down on paper. I’m very excited to have this opportunity to share some original music with the community.”
Nigel will be joined by his long term WollCon student Matthew Zengoski in a program of guitar duets beginning in the 19th century with music by Fernando Sor and will also include recent works for two guitars by composers such as Andrew York and the Leonard Grigoryan.
Both Nigel and Matthew also performed at a recent concert at the Berry School of Arts.
The concert will also feature music from WollCon’s guitar ensemble playing selected pieces by George Bizet, Edvard Greig, Lou Warde and Australian composer Shaun Rigney.
Two HSC students Lara Mastroianni and Joshua Sozio, who have both been nominated for the upcoming HSC Encore Concert at the Sydney Opera House, will also be featured in the line-up, and they will be playing music from their recent HSC performances.
