(Junnan
Sun & Christopher Duigan)
Clarinet virtuoso Junnan Sun features in
recitals in KZN this month, presented by Music Revival.
The brilliant young musician Junnan Sun
appears with pianist Christopher Duigan in a programme of Romantic 19th century
repertoire including Brahms’ Sonata No 1 in F minor and Schumann’s Fantasiestucke. The duo will be joined
by violist Mia Björkman-Sun for performances of Max Bruch’s Trio for Clarinet,
Viola and Piano Op 83, and Mozart’s famous 'Kegellsatt' Trio K 498, written for
the same combination of the great Austrian composer’s three favourite
instruments.
