Murray River Fine Music presents Benjamin Martin (piano) LIVE at Peregrines, Table Top
07
May
Murray River Fine Music is thrilled to present one of Australia's finest pianists, Benjamin Martin, in solo recital for our 2023 Autumn series.
Hailed by Newsday NY as an 'excellent craftsman', the New York Times as 'Distinctive, arresting in style' and The Australian in 2000 as ‘The best young talent for the new millennium’, pianist/composer Benjamin Martin has become known as an artist of exceptional versatility and subtlety of expression.
A child-prodigy, at the age of thirteen Benjamin memorized Schumann's Carnaval in two days, and by the age of eighteen had a repertoire of some two-hundred and fifty works plus twenty-five concertos.
Local audiences will be treated to a recital of piano favourites from across the years, with a focus on Romantic era works by Brahms, Liszt and Chopin.
Student pianists are invited to apply to perform at the piano masterclass with Benjamin on Saturday, May 6 from 2pm at Peregrines Table Top.
Masterclass events are entry by donation and information about these events can be found here.
