Acclaimed for their artistry and professionalism over many decades, the Melbourne-based Team of Pianists has presented solo and chamber recitals, concerto performances, broadcasts and CDs - including a number of exciting, yet rarely recorded works, as well as two innovative videos and various publications on the art of piano playing and musicianship. The Team is committed to the performance of chamber music and the involvement of young musicians and is active in presenting recitals in historic and intimate venues in Melbourne and regional areas.
The Team partners have also run educational programmes such as an annual Spring Piano School (from 2004 to 2019) for primary and secondary school age students, professional development events such as an International Teachers‘ Seminars (2009 & 2010) and the Autumn Piano Weekend (2013), as well as presented masterclasses by Australian and overseas artists. The four partners of the Team of Pianists are now Darryl Coote, Rohan Murray, Robert Chamberlain and Kevin Suherman.
