Every year during Summer there is a music festival throughout Ballarat and the surrounding townships. Organs of the Ballarat Goldfields features many musicians but not necessarily organists only. The diversity of musicianship bought two great international musicians to the town of Yandoit - Massimo Scattolin on classical guitar and Paolo Tagliamento on violin. They performed at the local Uniting Church and presented a program of music by Paganini, Giuliani, Sarasate and Monti. What amazing players they are and the wonderful thing about it is that although they come from different generations, age is of no consequence where music is performed. Massimo is the older of the two but when you see them perform, the respect they have for each other is obvious.
It was also great to be able to purchase a CD of the same music they performed at the concert and have each musician autograph the disc.
The poster says it all
