Blackheath Chamber Music Festival 2024

An aural feast…performing four hands at the piano and improvising live.

ELENA KATS-CHERNIN is one of Australia’s foremost contemporary composers, widely acknowledged and awarded around the world—her colourful, vibrant and uplifting music featured at the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and the 2003 Rugby World Cup. And her long-time collaborator, TAMARA-ANNA CISLOWSKA, is one of Australia’s most celebrated pianists, winning prizes internationally—in London, Italy and Greece—as well as the 2015 ARIA in Australia for ‘Best Classical Album’ for her recording of Peter Sculthorpe’s complete piano works. Come and hear this dynamic duo performing new and old favourites from Kats-Chernin’s extraordinary body of work, as you’ve never heard them before.
