About
Nota Bene is a musical duo for hire in Melbourne, VIC.

The show
Brazilian music runs easy on the surface and gets complicated underneath, which is roughly what this duo trades on. Romance, a bit of melancholy, and joy in the same set, plus jazz standards played with a Brazilian lean. Cassie Elliget sings, and comes from the Mornington Peninsula. She studied voice, took a Box Hill Institute degree in applied music in 2010, and has a pile of musical theatre work behind her. Roman Goldine plays guitar: samba, bossa nova and choro. He trained in Moscow and at the Melba Conservatorium, moved to Melbourne in 1998, and has played jazz clubs, wineries and festivals around Victoria ever since.
On the day
Everything they play through belongs to them, so no hunting for a PA or borrowing the venue's gear. One power connection is the whole ask.
