Eager pianists ready to perform

SENIOR piano students of music teacher Bronislaw Sozanski will be sharing their talents at the upcoming Piano for Pleasure concert.

The event will take place on Sunday 12 November from 2pm in the Synod Hall of the Anglican Cathedral on Lydiard Street South.

The initiative has been running for more than 20 years and aims to provide the students with performance experience as well as allowing them to share their talents with the community.

This year’s concert will include Hannah Cao, Travis Wang, Benjamin Bi and Limor Chen.

“We usually do three or four a year and it gives senior students the opportunity to play and the experience of performing for the community,” said Sozanski.

“It’s a one-hour concert and is really ideal for families to come along to.”

Despite the pianists being students, Sozanski said it is a high-quality performance.

“It’s actually quite a mature performance in the presentation,” he said. “It’s a really good afternoon of piano music.

“It gives them an awareness that they’re doing something for people which they really enjoy.

“That way as they get into higher levels of music and are potentially studying music at a higher level, they have this experience.”

Sozanski encouraged the community to come along and have an enjoyable afternoon.

“I hope people enjoy the music that they’re hearing,” he said. “Most people also enjoy seeing young people achieve even if they don’t know them because they’re making a contribution.”

The concert is free to attend, however, donations are welcomed and they support Cathedral Music Foundation.
