EACS Music & Tea: Piano Recital

Emerging Artist Concert Series ACROSS THE AGES From J.S. Bach to the premiere of two new piano works by Oscar Dunn-Luck, pianists Sophie Chen and Oscar Dunn-Luck take us on a musical journey spanning centuries and styles. The program brings together Haydn, Brahms, Liszt and Rachmaninoff with lesser-known works by Granados, Kitty Parker, Randy Newman and Woody Goss, culminating in the premiere of two new works by Oscar. The concert continues the close connection between the Emerging Artist Concert Series and the Pascoe Awards, presented by Highlands Music Collective in memory of Mrs Eva Pascoe and Dr Timothy Pascoe AM. Every recipient of the Eva Pascoe Award — a $3,000 scholarship with performance opportunities and mentoring from HMC — has previously performed in the Emerging Artist Concert Series. The Pascoes were donors to the EAC Series. Since 2025, EACS has offered one concert each year to a Pascoe Awards participant who would benefit from further performance opportunities. Oscar was selected for this opportunity in 2025 and invited Sophie, a fellow Pascoe Awards participant, to join him for this concert. Oscar Dunn-Luck is a pianist, cellist, percussionist and composer whose works have been performed by the Southern Highlands Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra, Highlands Sinfonia and Highlands Music Collective. Sophie Chen received her A.Mus.A in piano in 2024, achieving the AMEB Gold Award after six years of study with Sabina Madden. She is now studying for a Bachelor of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium with Natalia Ricci, and is also an advanced violinist and composer.
