New Piano Music

from the Antipodes

In March 2025, three composers, under Antipodean skies, came together to curate a series of exciting concerts to showcase their music.

Robert Melbourne, Sally Greenaway and Paul Smith joined forces with the finest professional pianists to produce events where they share a unique, expansive soundscape inspired by the natural beauty and culture of the Antipodes.

These concerts will delight audiences with something different, something welcoming and something fun from this other side of the world.
