GUITAR & CHORD-ZITHER
French born Etienne de Lavaulx has performed in concerts and festivals throughout Australia. He has six C.D.s of his own compositions and arrangements and teaches classical guitar and Chord zither. Etienne's music is inspired by his love of nature and conveys feelings of tranquility and peace. He took up classical guitar at the age of eleven, while still living in France. Shortly after his arrival in Australia, Etienne came across his first chord zither, while living in Adelaide. Helped by a musical background he taught himself to play it and has gone on to become one of the few exponents of this once popular instrument.
