Pianist

with soprano Evelyne Beech

Please see the list below for my complete solo piano repertoire
I have worked extensively with professional singers and instrumentalists in both concerts and examinations and I would be happy to accompany you, please feel free to drop me a line.
Currently I am seeking both a violinist and cellist based in the Wellington area interested to rehearse and perform the two Piano Trios by Shostakovich together with my own two Piano Trios, which includes 'Het Achterhuis' for Anne Frank.
