Live at Watsons Bay: Richard Tognetti x Alexander Gavrylyuk special event

A very special private house concert in Watsons Bay with two Australian music icons.

Richard Tognetti — Artistic Director and Lead Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra — joins Alexander Gavrylyuk, the Ukrainian-born Australian pianist whose international honours include the Gold Medal at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Masters Competition.

Both artists have given us some of our most memorable nights, not only through their musicianship, but through their warmth, humour and generosity on stage. This time, they come together for two commanding violin sonatas by Prokofiev and Brahms.

The evening begins with boutique EPC Champagne on arrival, followed by canapés and wine.

For this concert, Live at Yours is joined by Australian fragrance house Goldfield & Banks. Guests will be invited to explore Ingenious Ginger, Pacific Rock Moss, Bohemian Lime and Silky Woods at a dedicated fragrance bar.

Each guest will also take home a 10ml bottle of Southern Bloom, (valued at $57). Inspired by the brief September flowering of Tasmania’s rare boronia, the fragrance brings together boronia absolute, jasmine sambac, cassis, ylang-ylang, iris, vetiver and Australian sandalwood.

An intimate waterfront setting, two exceptional musicians and an evening limited to just 70 guests.
