Sydney International Piano Competition: Calvin Abdiel
(don't forget that clocks have changed due to the end of daylight saving time)
Calvin Abdiel is the winner of the third prize and best Australian pianist prize of the prestigious Sydney International Piano Competition.
The youngest musician of the competition at just 21 years old, Calvin won through the stages of the competition with expertise and skill beyond his years, with The Australian describing him as ‘Piano Man.’
The Australian/Indonesian pianist made his orchestral debut in 2017 with the St Petersburg State Capella Symphony Orchestra and subsequent performances with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and the Swiss orchestra, Les Chambristes. He has also performed in Indonesia, Germany, Denmark and Israel. He has been broadcast by ABC Classic FM and Fine Music Sydney.
Calvin studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, beginning his Honours Degree with current teacher Natalia Ricci this year . He has received masterclasses from such acclaimed pianists such as Angela Hewitt, Orli Shaham, Justas Dvarionas and Jahja Ling.
For his debut tour, Calvin will perform an accomplished program including the complex and bold Réminiscences de Don Juan (Liszt/Mozart) and a selection of works from Enrique Granados’s Goyescas evoking a Spanish flare.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear this prodigious young artist on the cusp of a glistening career.
