Join talented and experienced musicians Ewa Poblocka and David Pereira as they pay tribute to the renowned, influential musician Frederic Chopin on the first annual Friend’s of Chopin‘s Australian Chopin Festival. There is no one more qualified to entertain Goulburn with Chopin and friend’s tribute- Poblocka having won the tenth international Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw (1980), the International Viotti Music Competition in Vercelli (1977) and the International Festival of Young Laureates in Bordeaux (1979). She graduated with Honours from the Academy of Music in Gdansk, 1981. Poblocka has an extensive list of countries she’s performed in- from throughout Europe and the Americas to Singapore, South Korea, China and Japan, and of course, Australia. She is also the first polish pianist in history to record both volumes of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier by Bach.
Pereira is an Australian born Cellist, graduated from Sydney Conservatorium in 1974 before spending the next few years studying at Indiana University, before he was invited back home to join the Australian Chamber Orchestra as Principal Cellist and the Australian Ensemble in 1980. In the late 80s he was Principal Cellist in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He spent a large chunk of the 90s and 2000s as Senior Lecturer for Cello at the Canberra school of Music (now the ANU school of music) and has since been part-time employed there. David is regarded as one of Australia’s most significant and talented practicing musicians.
