James Dekleva: Dekleva & Davis | In Recital
2 May @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AWST

Following a successful solo tour of Australia’s eastern states and Singapore, James Dekleva joins Isaac Davis, Associate Principal Cellist of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, for their second recital collaboration.
Experience the elegance of Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata, a lyrical masterpiece originally composed for a now-obsolete six-string instrument, here reimagined on the four strings of the cello, followed by two of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances.
The evening culminates in the explosive drama of Beethoven’s Sonata for Piano and Cello in G minor.
