Internationally renowned cellist Mischa Maisky returns to Melbourne for a much-anticipated recital at Hamer Hall on 6 November, joined by his daughter, distinguished pianist Lily Maisky.
Celebrated for his rich, resonant tone, praised by BBC Music Magazine, and hailed by ABC Classic as “one of the most flamboyant and communicative personalities in classical music,” Maisky is admired for his emotional honesty, unmistakable intensity and scores of acclaimed recordings. As Rostropovich’s favourite student, he carries forward a remarkable musical legacy.
Alongside Lily, whose artistry beautifully complements his own, the duo delivers music-making of rare warmth, depth and expressive power. A unique opportunity to experience two exceptional musicians whose on-stage connection is as compelling as the repertoire itself.
This is an unmissable evening for Melbourne audiences.
