From 1st to 3rd of March - After 9 years since our performance in the Australian International Music Festival, we made our return to perform in Australia. This time a recital in Mosman, a beautiful town in Sydney.

We were invited to perform a house concert organized by two wonderful people who we met during our tour in Japan last year. The programme included the latest and not yet published chamber music work by acclaimed Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin : and with her in attendance. It was an absolute honour to perform this recital.

It was also a wonderful moment when the audience all sung me the Happy Birthday song when they found out the concert was right on my birthday!

Even though Australia is such a close country to New Zealand, we haven't been able to meet with their country and people as much as we should. We hope to visit Australia more often from now to perform and also to explore the country as well :)
