The Tasmans have just come back to New Zealand after competing in the Asia-Pacific Chamber Music Competition, in which we were finalists and recipients of an award for the performance of a post-1989 composition (we had chosen to play Thomas Ades' Arcadiana). Despite our disappointment at not winning the competition, it was a positive experience to play in the stunning hall at the Melbourne Recital Centre for a large and enthusiastic audience, and we'd like to thank the organizers of the competition for making our time in Melbourne so pleasant.
We were very happy to read this review of our performance in the finals by the eminent Australian pianist Ian Munro.
If you are interested, you can hear our performance online at the ABC Classic FM page devoted to the competition.
The New Zealand Herald coverage of the TSQ in the Asia-Pacific Competition can be found here and here.
