Spring & Summer

Join Pianists Donald Nicolson and Kristian Chong and percussionists Brent Miller, Louise Devenish, Lara Wilson, Robert Cossom, and percussion students from the Conservatorium, as they bring you a thrilling double bill of music for pianos and percussion. George Crumb's fantastical Makrokosmos III is paired with Stravinsky's four hand transcription of his Rite of Spring, superimposed with the original percussion parts to provide a freshly scintillating experience.
