Chameleons: Pianist Lee Dionne in recital

Hayes Street Studio Co-director and pianist Lee Dionne presents a virtuosic, eclectic program that both evades and captivates like a kaleidoscope or oil under glass. This set of musical interlopers shows off composers at their most chameleon-esque, paying fanciful homage or simply pretending to be someone else. From Bernstein to Bach, featuring several Sydney premieres, this all-rounder program is sure to entertain and delight.

About the Artist

Described as “impressive” (NYTimes), “impeccable” (Fanfare Magazine), and “entrancing” (BBC Music Magazine), pianist Lee Dionne leads a varied, international career as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, artistic director, and arranger.​

He has performed numerous solo and chamber debut recitals in such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Jordan Hall, Merkin Hall, Spivey Hall, and the Philharmonic in Bratislava.

For six years Lee toured the US and internationally as the founding pianist of the Merz Trio (2017-2023), with which he was a recipient of the prestigious Naumburg Award in Chamber Music and first prize winner of the Fischoff, Chesapeake, and Concert Artist Guild Competitions. Other chamber ensembles and organisations with which Lee has been associated include Yellow Barn Music Festival, Ensemble Connect, and Cantata Profana.
