After the two-year break due to the pandemic, the programming of the Suono italiano concert series resumes in Sydney with its usual format — emerging artists, but with already a solid international experience, perform for the first time for Australian public.
The Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the Italian National Music Committee of Rome (CIDIM), is pleased to present a concert by the Italian cellist Emanuela Mosa and the Japanese pianist Mayaka Nakagawa, who will perform music by Johannes Brahms, Francesco Cilea and Gian Francesco Malipiero.
The performance is part of a mini Australian tour organized by the Institute, which will see the two musicians perform on August 10 in Canberra, at the Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centre and the following day, August 11, at the Institute’s premises on York Street.
