Ralph Plarre (Sustainability Ambassador/ Business Speaker)

Excerpts from 20 April, 2011 Blog Post - Musical Intervals: "[My piano teacher] introduced me to another student of his, Allan Zavod. Allan - now Dr Zavod - is a well-respected composer and musician. (He showed a bit of talent back then too!) That day Allan taught me how to play the boogie base and when I play it I often think of him. <...> Allan and I weren't to cross paths again until recently. And in an interesting twist it was sustainability that brought his music back into my life. Allan composed the Environmental Symphony for the Banksia awards, which he played at the awards night the year after I accepted the Gold Banksia prize on behalf of our bakery. <...> We've both since played at a concert I arranged with Steinway Pianos. I like to think our piano teacher was pretty happy with us that day."

International Musician Visit: Music Masterclass at Broome Senior High School

Excerpts from 2015 News story: "Senior Music students and teachers were treated to a master class last week when Allan visited Broome Senior High School and spoke of his many fantastic musical experiences in America with music legends such as George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Sting and Herbie Hancock to mention just a few. Allan finished his visit to the school with a Jam session with Senior Students and we had an amazing time. Allan is a truly great international musician and a generous teacher. Yassi summed up our collective feelings with this comment: "That was the most fantastic musical experience I have ever had and I will remember it for the rest of my life." We agree."
