Simon Tedeschi performing this weekend in Lithgow, Bathurst and Forbes


Internationally renowned pianist Simon Tedeschi is quite often described by respected critics and musical peers as "one of the finest artists in the world" making the young pianist's mark on music both undeniable and admirable. Renowned especially for championing non standard repertoire, Tedeschi enjoys a full international performing career.

Playing with the Bathurst Chamber Orchestra at All Saints Cathedral on Saturday 17 March, Simon and the BCO will be conducted by The Reverend Michael Deasey “Michael was my music Master at St Andrews Cathedral School in Sydney where I studied and I jump at any opportunity that I have to be able to come to Bathurst and perform with him” says Simon.

Hosted by the Mitchell Conservatorium the concert series takes in Lithgow and Parkes on the Friday and the Sunday of the same weekend. Several young musicians from the Mitchell Conservatorium will also be joining the BCO ensemble onstage as their special guest as part of the Conservatorium’s Music in Schools program. All school age children are welcome to attend the concert FREE of charge. For more information go to our website or call 02 6331 6622.
