Virtuosi maverick Australian-Ukrainian-American pianists join forces to present Handwork – a powerhouse journey on two grand pianos with masterwork music by J.S. Bach, Martin Bresnick and John Adams. Hear the infamous Bach Goldberg Variations afresh, with it’s intricate ingenuity in luminous clarity as this duo team builds a kaleidoscopic tapestry of color, rhythm and touch. Paired with bold, new American music – the Adelaide premiere of Martin Bresnick’s mysteriously evocative Handwork and John Adams’ jazz-infused, rollicking Hallelujah Junction – Sonya and Lisa portray an electrifying and generous musical dialogue with explosive, sonic resonance.
