“It was brave of the Sydney Mozart Society to put on a programme of music for four piano hands and their bravery was rewarded in spades…. A great concert, fully appreciated by a receptive audience…”  That’s the verdit of ClassikON Ambassador Tony Burke on our second concert in 2023.

Daniel Herscovitch and Clemens Leske were the two fine pianists who “played faultlessly and with great empathy…” Back by popular demand, this season this talented duo performs a varied programme on the Concourse’s two Steinway pianos.

These fine Sydney based pianists have collaborated for more than a decade. Individually, they have appeared extensively overseas and regularly at home with many of Australia’s leading musicians and ensembles.
