Emma Abbate and Julian Perkins
Duality: Four hands on one piano
Emma Abbate and Julian Perkins are some of the most celebrated pianists of today. Together, they have given duet recitals at many prestigious venues including the Royal Opera House, St George’s Bristol, St John’s Smith Square, Hatchlands Park, the Russell Collection and for the Mozart Society of America. Hailed for their 'impressive playing' by BBC Music Magazine, they have recently released Carl Maria von Weber's complete piano duets on an original Viennese fortepiano for Deux-Elles, and have previously recorded Mozart’s complete sonatas for keyboard duet on period instruments over two discs for Resonus Classics. They have each been awarded Associateship of the Royal Academy of Music in recognition of their ‘significant contribution’ thus far to the music profession, and have just released Tournament for Twenty Fingers featuring works by British composers from the twentieth century on BIS Records: the disc has received a 5 star review on BBC Music Magazine and has been chosen by Scala Radio as Album of the Weekend.
We are absolutely honoured to have them in our professional lunchtime series this season.
