Classical star brings global riches

Esteemed classical guitarist Don Neander returns to Busselton on Friday, January 18, to perform at the Weld Theatre, playing works of a range of periods including renaissance, romantic and 20th century music.

Neander will play a solo concert in Busselton, displaying his 40 years of experience and craft.

After four years in Sydney Neander returned to Melbourne, where he started teaching guitar in schools and studied composition and arranging with film composer Frank Strangio.

The concert will cover composers from England, Germany, Spain and Brazil and will start at 7.30pm.
