Description

SIMON TEDESCHI 'BY REQUEST'

No set list. No script. No safety net.

Name your composer. Tedeschi takes it from there.

Bach to Beethoven, Gershwin to Scriabin —

from jazz to the unexpected, the music unfolds by request.

One pianist. One piano.

One completely spontaneous evening.

Come with a request.

Leave expecting the unexpected.

Simon's capacity to switch genres, improvise and freshly interpret much-loved works is widely recognised.

“The piano soloist was Australian Simon Tedeschi, romantic, nonchalant, and virtuosic to suit the moment.”
Dawn Brooke, Regional News, August, 2023

“stylish brilliance…totally in command of jazz idioms whether quietly intimate melodic blues style or upbeat Agitato Latin American syncopation...'
Heather Leviston, Classic Melbourne, August 3, 2023

“…virtuoso and hip Australian pianist Simon Tedeschi…”
William Dart, New Zealand Herald, August 9, 2023

Sharing the Joy of Music in the Community

InspireMusicAust is a not-for-profit that nurtures emerging classical, jazz, and world musicians by creating performance opportunities in the community. InspireMusicAust is committed to increasing accessibility to classical, jazz and world music within the community. Our concerts are often scheduled at a time of day, making them available for those who find concerts at night difficult. We partner with venues to provide accessible programs to all within the community, regardless of their economic situation. To facilitate this, many of our concerts are entry by donation. However, we strongly encourage those who can donate to do so generously to help support our commitment to paying performers following the Musicians Union of Australia and awards.

Currently, our major program is the EMERGING CONCERT ARTISTS SERIES, which features outstanding young performers under 26. The musicians are given the freedom to curate, present, and perform a program in multiple venues, which helps create a performance progression path for emerging artists. In some concerts, the emerging artists work with established performers; in others, they pair up together. Other concerts we run include the annual MUSIC FOR MEDICINE concert, which features emerging artists in performance with a leading Australian artist at Wollongong Town Hal, with all profits going to a charity committed to the health and well-being of those in need. We also run CONCERTS ACROSS THE LAWN: A Musical Experience in Nature. As young artists progress, we offer to help them set up concerts involving a paid entry in different locations.
