ACO Principal Cellist Timo-Veikko ‘Tipi’ Valve and pianist Aura Go are widely regarded as two of Australia’s finest chambers musicians and instrumentalists.  Acclaimed for the musical chemistry that exists between them, this intimate recital features the re-imaginings of works by Mozart and a new work by Australian/UK composed Lisa Illean.

The program is bookended by Beethoven’s Horn Sonata, arranged by Beethoven himself for cello and piano. (Beethoven is widely viewed as the ‘father’ of the piano and cello sonata in the same vein that Haydn is referred to as the ‘Papa’ of the string quartet).  Schubert’s effervescent Arpeggione Sonata ends the program.  Conceived for the six stringed ‘Arpegionne’ the work is fiendishly difficult but in the hands of Tipi and Aura, prepare to be astonished and delighted!
