Widely regarded as one of Australia's most compelling pianists, Stefan Cassomenos returns to the keyboard for an exclusive, up-close recital at Kawai Brisbane — a single evening, performed just metres from the audience.

Across a program spanning Beethoven, Chopin, the Liszt–Verdi opera paraphrases and the music of Australia's own Carl Vine, Stefan moves from the thunder of the Romantic repertoire to the colour of the contemporary, drawing on the fearless, deeply expressive playing that has won him admirers on stages around the world.

Program: 
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
Chopin - Select Mazurkas
Carl Vine - Toccatissimo
Liszt/Verde - Rigoletto Paraphrase
