Special Ticket Offer for Andrey Gugnin Tonight and Tomorrow

 

After a wonderful weekend, performing in and musical directing Out West Piano Fest, Andrey Gugnin returns to Sydney and Melbourne for one night only for a solo recital performance. If you happened to miss Andrey in Bathurst, you have one last chance to catch him before he returns to Europe. Andrey brings a spectacular program of Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky with a nod to the contemporary, featuring acclaimed Australian composer Carl Vine and Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov.

 

“These upcoming concerts are a very special home-coming of sorts for me. Australia will always have a place in my heart having already toured the length and breadth of your sunburnt country and I just cannot wait to be able to play again for you.” - Andrey Gugnin
