Michelle Nelson composer

Michelle Nelson is a composer and guitarist committed to developing instrumental works that are contemporary but also draw inspiration from traditional composition practice.

Her popular works Brolga Dances, Capricorn Light and Pacifica (2009), and Amorevolezza (2005) reflect these aims.

Michelle is driven by the belief that in a world of cut-and- paste, computer- generated music the art of written music composition is more vital than ever and that the most original work can only come from the imagination of skilled artists.
