Robert Schulz
Robert Schulz writes for mandolin and guitar orchestra, placing dance energy and open colour beside folk tunes, waltzes and light classical favourites. His Folk Dance, Outback and A Celebration appear on Melbourne Mandolin Orchestra programmes built for shimmering plucked sound.
Outback sits among contemporary Australian works for mandolin and guitar, while Folk Dance joins an atmospheric, eclectic set that ranges from Mozart to Elgar. A Celebration belongs to an easy-listening programme of concertos, suites and solo features, where the orchestra’s rhythmic drive and bright ensemble blend carry the writing.
