Acclaimed for their artistry and professionalism over many decades, the Melbourne-based Team of Pianists has presented solo and chamber recitals, concerto performances, broadcasts and CDs - including a number of exciting, yet rarely recorded works, as well as two innovative videos and various publications on the art of piano playing and musicianship. The Team is committed to the performance of chamber music and the involvement of young musicians and is active in presenting recitals in historic and intimate venues in Melbourne and regional areas.
The Team partners have also run educational programmes such as an annual Spring Piano School (from 2004 to 2019) for primary and secondary school age students, professional development events such as an International Teachers‘ Seminars (2009 & 2010) and the Autumn Piano Weekend (2013), as well as presented masterclasses by Australian and overseas artists. The four partners of the Team of Pianists are now Darryl Coote, Rohan Murray, Robert Chamberlain and Kevin Suherman.

Rigg Bequest Classic Music 2026 - in Special and Sacred Spaces
Across Time and Tradition: Music for Clarinet, Bassoon and Piano
Robert Schubert - clarinet, Matthew Angus - bassoon, and Robert Chamberlain - piano, trace a musical journey that spans centuries, styles and cultures, in the warm acoustics of St John's Anglican Church, Camberwell.
Uniting Classical clarity, Romantic lyricism and contemporary re‑imagining, this program ranges from the intimate poetry of Schumann’s Abegg Variations and Glinka’s enthralling Trio Pathétique, to the elegant conversational forms of Lefèvre and Kreutzer, where clarinet and bassoon speak with wit, balance and grace. These European traditions are refracted through the voice of Australian‑Chinese composer Julian Yu, whose reworking of Glinka’s Romance and vivid Uygur Dance bring folk melody and cross‑cultural perspective into the present.
Join other audience members and the artists for post-concert refreshments hosted by the Friends of the Team of Pianists.
This program celebrates the enduring power of wind instruments to sing, converse and dance across time, tradition and place.

After interval, brilliant solo pianist Kevin Suherman performs works by Schumann and Liszt: Liszt's rapturous arrangement of Schumann's 'Widmung' (Dedication) and the kaleidoscopic scenes of Schumann’s Carnaval Op. 9.
