Shostakovich Recital In The City

Live at Yours is in the CBD presents soprano Eleanor Lyons, performing with  piano trio comprising violinst Daniel Röhn, pianist Vatche Jambazian and cellist Thomas Rann.

The program features the composer’s Piano trio no.1 op.8, written at just 16 years of age, and his Seven Romances on Poems by Alexander Blok Op. 127, one of his final works.

Australian husband and wife duo pianist Vladimir Fanshil piano and soprano Eleanor Lyons usually reside in Vienna, but since Eleanor’s debut with Opera Australia in January 2020, they have been ‘stuck’ in Australia, due to COVID-19. With concert halls closed during lockdown, they prepared special music programs for small audiences in private homes. These were a huge hit and so Live at Yours was born. Having awakened the very special experience of the salon-style concert, they toured regionally, rediscovering and reinventing the power of intimate concerts. Now a slew of Live at Yours collaborations are programmed for the CBD, where small audiences after work can thrill to the talents of the finest musicians and visual artists with a glass of wine… and sometimes more!

Accompanied by Clonakilla’s wines, this intimate recital in Sydney’s historic Rocks district promises to be a treat for all the senses at the conclusion of the work-day. Meander down to The Rocks be transported into the sound world of Shostakovich!
