GUITARmidale
It seems like quite a while since one Steve said to the other, “Why don’t we ask as many local composers who’d be up for it to write some music for us”? And so it happened, a little idea bringing together composers, players, instrument makers and the wider community. The idea evolved quickly from pieces for a concert, to more concerts and a CD, but one focus remained, that the whole project would be resourced locally. All the music written by local composers, the guitars made by local makers, funding provided by local businesses, individuals & other bodies, played and recorded by local musicians - there was only one name for the project that we could think of that encapsulated all these aspects into one word - GUITARmidale!
Thankyou to all those businesses, incorporated bodies and individuals who also thought the project was a good idea and jumped on board by way of sponsorship for the pieces and the recording process. A very special thankyou to all the composers, so much beautiful music, so much variety but somehow all distinctly Armidale.
Is there another place that this kind of community project is possible? We think you’d be hard pressed to find one!
