A little traveling music
May 6th, 1993
Dal-Educated Dale Kavanagh, international guitar virtuoso, was back for a while this winter. But if you blinked, you probably missed her.
This is not the European concert circuit where she has won rave reviews for her musical virtuosity. It’s not even the Sir James Dunn Theater in the Dalhousie Arts Center where she has delighted hundreds with her range and repertoire. It’s her cramped office in the Dalhousie Music Department, and something about the way Dale Kavanagh is playing the short, complicated classical guitar solo suggests her mind is on something else right now. Like the bags she’ll soon be packing. Read the rest of this entry »
Halifax Debut Recital
April 6th, 1993
Guitarist demonstrates light, precise touch.
Classical guitarist Dale Kavanagh has been teaching in the city since September, but few in the musical community knew about it. As a native Nova Scotian, recognition in her home province is slow to come.

She is a first class performer at the world level. One has the feeling that everyone in Canada is going to know about her in the not too distant future. Read the rest of this entry »

Colin Cooper Talks To Dale Kavanagh
The Canadian guitarist Dale Kavanagh won a creditable first prize in the Scandinavian International Guitar Competition in 1988. It was a useful aid in establishing herself as a concert guitarist, and her recital there the following year as an invited guest showed that the award of the prize was not misplaced. Her assured confident and penetrating musicianship are going to make a lot of friends for her in the years that lie ahead. Before that, she had done a couple of other competitions, getting a third prize at Palma, Mallorca, a third prize in Gargnano, and a second prize in Neuchatel, Switzerland.

The Krakow Festival
April 20th, 1991
Dale Kavanagh played after Sonja, and by contrast hers was a spectacular performance, spirited, impressive, mature and impassioned. She at once put the audience at ease with a definitive rendering of Courante, Ballet and La Volta by Praetorius. (I disagree with Matanya Ophee that because these are dances they should have been taken at a slower pace. This was a guitar recital and not a dance-hall!) Dale’s own arrangement of the Second Movement of the Guitar Concerto by Villa Lobos followed and was even more loudly applauded then the Terpsicore. Read the rest of this entry »
