Shostakovich

The First piano trio by a very young Dmitri Shostakovich has almost no presence on the concert platform, yet one can see a master on a rise. The Second Piano sonata shares its fate in Australia, may be due to a lack of 'wow' effect, although it is much more known and loved in Europe. Written at the same time as the sonata, the Second piano trio is by far the most famous work of the three. Together these three contrasting works make an intense and profound program by a great master.

This recital is presented as part of the Hanson Dyer Hall Concert Series. All concerts in this series can also be streamed live via our website.

PARKING 

The City of Melbourne has changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine.  

ACCESSIBILITY 

We are committed to making our events accessible and will accommodate requirements wherever possible. All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. Please contact us at fineartsmusic-tickets@unimelb.edu.au if you have any questions.
