Neeman Piano Duo in Concert

Sun 22 Nov 4:30pm - 6pm

Master Music Studio, Sydney

Don't miss this exciting piano duo this November! The Neeman Piano Duo are acclaimed for their versatile programs that combine breathtaking piano technique with elegance, piano gymnastics, and fun.

A recent concert inspired critic Graham MacDonald to commend their “great skill and an obvious enjoyment of performing together plus a little theatre.” Specializing in works written especially for two pianists together at one piano, they have arranged over 15 works specifically for their ensemble. They enjoy combining the classics of the piano duet repertoire by Beethoven, Schubert, and Fauré together with modern American and Australian works by Samuel Barber, John Corigliano, and david lang, together with Broadway and popular hits.
