Experience the exhilaration of two virtuoso pianists as Elyane Laussade and William Schmidt take the stage with Two Grands… Four Hands, a breathtaking showcase of musical brilliance on two grand pianos.

Event Description

What could be more thrilling than two virtuosos at two grand pianos going head-to-head in a dazzling display of musical mastery?

Two Grands… Four Hands is an electrifying showcase of superb piano arrangements performed on two grand pianos by two of Australia’s finest concert pianists, Elyane Laussade and William Schmidt.

Elyane, an internationally acclaimed pianist, has performed worldwide and been a guest soloist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra numerous times. Originally from the USA, she trained at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York. In a wonderful twist of fate, Elyane discovered William Schmidt nearly two decades ago at an Eisteddfod, and he has since performed across Australia and Vienna.

Together, these extraordinary musicians present a spectacular program spanning Mozart, Debussy, Mancini, Bacharach, and even a whirlwind 90-second rendition of an entire Gilbert & Sullivan opera.

Adding to the magic, the performance also features the stunning vocals of international soprano Alison Jones, with the charismatic Chris McKenna as compère.

This is a one-of-a-kind musical event that blends virtuosic talent, passion, and entertainment into an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss out – book your tickets now!

Join us in the theatre foyer prior to the performances for complimentary refreshments.
