Piano+: Celebration
26 October @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm AEDT

Held at artist Tim Storrier’s former home, this year’s festival has been curated by Mark Coughlan and features fellow pianists Jeonghwan Kim, Reuben Tsang and Wynona Wang. Together, they will perform repertoire from Mozart to Greg Anderson. Soprano Rachelle Durkin joins them in Richard Strauss’s Morgen! and Bishop’s Lo, here the gentle lark, while Sydney Symphony Orchestra Associate Concertmaster Harry Bennetts plays Franck’s Violin Sonata. The weekend closes with Johann Strauss’s Blue Danube and, fittingly, Irving Berlin’s I Love a Piano.

You will be swept up in a joyful finale that truly lives up to its name — ‘Celebration’. Schubert’s songs, transformed by Liszt, open with lyrical warmth, before Beethoven’s radiant ‘Spring Sonata’ fills the air with freshness and vitality. Ravel’s ‘Gaspard de la Nuit’ dazzles with its shimmering colours and technical brilliance, while Bishop’s ‘Lo, here the gentle lark’ sparkles with charm. From Irving Berlin’s playful ‘I Love a Piano’ to Strauss’s glorious ‘Blue Danube’, this final concert sends you out uplifted and exhilarated, a fitting conclusion to a festival brimming with artistry and delight.
