Minah Choe & Daniel Herscovitch - Velvet
Minah Choe and Daniel Herscovitch have been working together for five years. Although their repertoire encompasses works from the 18th and 19th centuries, for this program they will perform two twentieth century classic sonatas by Benjamin Britten and Elliott Carter, the Suite Italienne by Igor Stravinsky and from the 21st century Velvet by the Dutch-Australian composer Kate Moore.
Born in Seoul, Korea, Minah Choe began her studies at the age of 8. She graduated with a Bachelor of Music with First Class of Honors from the University of Sydney Conservatorium of Music (Sydney Conservatorium). She was a full scholarship holder at the Australian National Academy of Music in 2002 before gaining her master's degree from the Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music in 2004 as student and assistant of Professor Janos Starker. Currently Minah is pursuing her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the Sydney Conservatorium while working as a freelance cellist in major orchestras and performing widely in various chamber music concerts and recitals. She has appeared as a soloist with several orchestras including Sydney Symphony, Christchurch Symphony, Nizhny-Novgrod Philharmonic, Indiana Univeristy Philharmonic, and Bloomington Camerata.
Daniel Herscovitch is currently Associate Professor of Piano at the Sydney Conservatorium. An active solo and chamber musician, he has performed in Australia's major festivals, and with some of its most established ensembles. He was a soloist in the first Australian performance of the Bartók Concerto for Two Pianos. Daniel has toured the USA, Indonesia, Singapore, Norway, Germany and the UK, where he held a residency at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. His solo repertoire ranges from Purcell to Carter and beyond, and includes contemporary Australian, Asian, European and American works. His recordings of repertoire from the 17th to the 21st centuries have been released on Tall Poppies, Toccata Classics and ABC Classics labels, among others. His CD of music by Roger Smalley was Editor’s Choice in the 2019 Awards issue of Gramophone.
