The one thing better than one guitar ...

Peter and Marion Constant

... is Two Guitars, according to Frederic Chopin.

And on Sunday, 14th August, 2011, at 3 PM you can prove this for yourself at a concert at Mitchell Conservatorium, in the west wing of Bathurst Court House, in Russell St.

Peter Constant learnt guitar through Mitchell Conservatorium in the 80s, as a student at St Stanislaus College (Stannies). He later joined Guitar Trek, Canberra's terrific ensemble, modelled on the string quartet.

In this clip, Peter plays a bass classical guitar, while Marion plays an octave guitar, crafted by Australian luthier, Graham Caldersmith.

Bach's well-known Bourrée in E Minor inspired Paul McCartney's song Blackbird, featured on The Beatles white double album.



Watching videos on Youtube is enjoyable, but is a pale reflection of a live music concert. And Mitchell Conservatorium's Orchard Room is a great intimate venue for live musical performances.

See you there!
