Where piano and violin meet in a magnetic exchange between two virtuosos

Long admired soloists in their own right, Italian violinist Francesca Dego and one of Australia’s finest pianists Andrea Lam come together in the Utzon Room for an afternoon of bold artistry, lyrical power and magnetic chemistry.  

Dego has earned a reputation for her compelling interpretations and luminous tone, while Lam is celebrated for her expressive playing and effortless virtuosity. Together, their agile and intuitive playing makes every turn feel alive. Performing masterworks by Mozart, Debussy, Beethoven and Schubert alongside contemporary works written for Francesca by Luca Francesconi and Giovanni Sollima, they bring a fresh edge without losing elegance or form. 

It’s a rare chance to hear two exceptional artists up close in sparkling musical conversation, casting European masters in brilliant new light.
