 Featured Artists:
Acclaimed both for its high standards of artistry and professionalism, the
Melbourne-based Team of Pianists has captivated audiences in Australia and overseas for nearly twenty years. Coupled with unquestioned commitment to the highest artistic performance standards in its many solo and chamber recitals, concerto performances, CDs, and broadcasts, the Team is equally committed to promoting young musicians through its many masterclass programmes in metropolitan and regional areas alike. Born in Launceston, Tasmania in 1929, Peter Sculthorpe is now one of Australia's best-known composers and a fine pianist.
Hannan's first foray into composition came in 1972, as a jingle writer and composer of music for theatre and film. In the late 1970s he became interested in composing concert music, particularly for the piano, and in 1980 undertook postgraduate studies in composition with Sculthorpe.
