In a first for the Central Coast, The Bouddi Society will present world-class pianists in concert in Wagstaffe Hall on Sunday, June 9.
The performance by ABC Classic DUET host and ARIA award-winning pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska with world-renowned composer and pianist Elena Kats-Chernin will start at 2pm.
They will take the audience on a magical journey through the worlds of tango, ballet, ragtime and classical, with threads of folk music woven through.
This is a rare chance to hear one of Australia’s leading composers performing live her vibrant music, which has featured at the Sydney Olympics, Commonwealth Games and Rugby World Cup and on iView.
Cislowska is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most globally-recognised pianists in classical music today, hailed by BBC Music Magazine as “Australian piano gold” and with nearly eight million streams on Spotify alone and 10 ARIA number one albums for ABC Classics, Deutsche Grammophon and Naxos.
The synergy of these two world-class artists together at the piano will bring a whole new dimension to what a piano concert can be: enjoy insights into exciting and moving music, and the cheeky humour of long-time collaborators.
Their projects include chart-topping albums, major works for orchestra and piano and recently, Human Waves, commissioned by Sydney Philharmonia Choirs for its centenary celebrations and premiered to a sold-out Sydney Opera House in 2023.
The concert will be accompanied by complimentary wine, light refreshments, and nibbles.
