For one night only, on 12 October, experience the electrifying artistry of Alexander Gavrylyuk—Australia’s most celebrated international pianist—in the sublime acoustics of Toorak Synagogue.
The program will dazzle with Liszt’s whirlwind Tarantella, a sparkling Mozart Sonata in C Major, and a deeply moving selection from Chopin, including the Fantasy in F minor, Fantasy Impromptu, and a soul-stirring Nocturne.
