THREE internationally acclaimed classical musicians will unite for a one-night-only concert at Lucas Parklands, Montville, on Saturday, May 17.
Headlining the event are renowned cellist Sam Lucas, Russian-born piano virtuoso Konstantin Shamray, and award-winning Melbourne pianist Daniel Le.
Promotor Ian Lucas described the trio’s appearance as “a real treat for Queensland music”.
Sam Lucas, recently appointed head cellist of Germany’s Koblenz Symphony Orchestra, will perform the third movement of Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, and the third movement of Rachmaninov’s Cello Sonata with Shamray on piano, among other musical highlights.
Mr Shamray, the only pianist to win both First Prize and the People’s Choice Award at the Sydney International Piano Competition, will also perform Ravel’s rarely-heard Piano Concerto for the Left Hand — a technically brilliant work “not often played”, according to Ian Lucas.
Daniel Le, whose global career spans classical to jazz, will perform Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2, accompanied by Mr Shamray in the role of orchestra.
“It’s a great mix of world-class musicians and a buzz to bring them together,” Ian Lucas said. “The stars aligned for one unforgettable concert.”
