Geoffrey Gartner and Daniel Herscovitch are longtime fixtures of the Australian chamber music scene. Following their 2015 performance of Chopin’s Cello Sonata they will team up again to present a program featuring another large-scale masterpiece of the romantic era, Brahms’ Cello Sonata in F major. The program also includes the world premiere of a new work by Australian composer, Peter Dart. His virtuosic Suite was written specially for Gartner and Herscovitch, both long-time champions of new music. Prolific recording artists, their critically acclaimed recording of Wolfgang Steffen’s Diagramm has just been released on the Biodiversity label.
