C & C Rigg Bequest Classic Music in Historic Venues 2025
Our 2024 - 2025 series continues in June with a very special double recital in the National Trust’s lavish 19th century mansion Labassa. Join us to celebrate Kevin Suherman, brilliant younger pianist and protégé of the late Max Cooke OAM, joining the Team of Pianists as a partner!
And Then There Were Four! Kevin Suherman joins the Team
Sunday June 29, 2025 at 3.00pm, at Labassa
Darryl Coote, Robert Chamberlain, Rohan Murray and Kevin Suherman perform solo piano music from Brahms to Beethoven, Ravel to Ronald Stevenson and much more in the Reception Room and the Music Room at Labassa. Experience the opulent architectural features and impressive interiors of this National Trust historic house. Enjoy a feast of piano music featuring all four partners of the Team of Pianists, with two contrasting 45 minute recitals in the one afternoon.
Within Labassa each magnificently restored performance room seats only 40 people, thus each recital will be performed twice; after interval the audience will swap rooms to hear their second piano recital. Both rooms are at opposite corners of the ground floor, separated by doors and the entrance hall, so each audience will not be disturbed by sound from the other recital.
